Note that the set_transient_for() hint is a window manager hint, and is
not interpretted the same by all window managers (some even allow the user
to control how it is handled, some ignore it), so it may just be your
window manager that prevents the separate iconification. Unless you can
control what window manager is in use, this requirement may be very
difficult to implement.
I am not sure what the best way to handle this is.
