acroread sets the "transientfor" window to an unmapped, 1x1 window
at a random screen position. I think fvwm does the right thing by
ignoring the "transient" hint altogether as in many other
situations. Popping up a transient dialog for a non existing
window is meaningless and might well cause that the window is
never even mapped. Someone should send a bug report to Adobe.
There *is* a bug in 2.5.x that makes transients lose their
transientfor window if they are created while the transientfor is
iconified or on another desk. I will commit a fix.
