Cool, the DontStackTransientParent was the key. It looks like with
one of the apps I mentioned when there is a transient and the main
window gets the focus the application must be telling the window
manager to raise its transient, without DontStackTransientParent this
caused the main window to raise also. Now to keep the program from
auto raising the transient window... much better though.
