There are two different problems here. As you said, with certain styles set, transients are raised twice when they are created. The second time should have no visual effect at all, though. Please post all your "Style" commands so I can see if something is wrong in the new transient handling. I am aware that under some obscure (well, not obscure to me) situation, transients are lowered and then immediately raised. But that should only play a role if you have at least one transient and a transient of that transient. The second problem is that new windows are always drawn unfocused at first, even if they have the GrabFocus or GrabFocusTransient style. I have committed a patch to remove this effect (except for sticky windows).
