Thanks for replying Dan, much appreciated. Let me explain what I am trying to achieve: I am creating a "picture in a picture effect" (using XV in a window, amongst other windows). GTK doesn't play well with overlapping widgets, and gtk.Fixed() doesn't guarantee Z-order. So I am using a stack of gtk.Windows without decoration to achieve the desired effect, but the appearance is that everything looks like a nice gtk layout.

I don't care about recalling set_transient, I just want windows to show up consistently in the expected order. I am not changing what is set_transient for what, just trying to get windows to show up again by recalling that method.
