Thanks, now I know that I don't have to search for it any further. :-(
I think that multiple transients from one main window are used, while
they are indeed rare. Example is netscape, I think that there are other
examples that pop up a transient prompting for something, and if you
enter something wrong they pop up an additional transient
telling that. That's the problem with the java application I noted above

I have users that manage to get the second transient behind the main window,
and then they think that the application crashed. I already activated to show
transients in the fvwmtaskbar, but it seems that's not enough.
So it would be nice to have some function that keeps the transients before
the main window.

Josef
