The original intent behind not keeping non-modal dialog group transients was to let the search window in KMail go behind the main window. See bug 76026. But the proposed solution has some problems: * first, we're working around "bugs" in KMail. The search window should not be a transient if one wants to put it behind the main window; * we're not following the EWMH spec: "Windows that are transient for another window should be kept above this window." Even though the spec doesn't explicitly mention group transients, I think that statement applies to them too.
