Currently, transients are always placed on the same desk as their
"parent" window. Also, I think putting both on different desks
can be extremely confusing, for example if you have a modal
transient on one desk and wonder why you can't to anything with
the parent window because input is blocked while the transient
exists. All you can do is using pages instead of desks at the
moment.
