The problem lies in the application in question (in this case, it seems to be
the Adobe plugin), not GTK. The app should be calling _set_transient_for() with
a toplevel window.

I believe the appropriate way to get a toplevel window in GTK is to call
gtk_widget_get_toplevel() and use that for the call.

It could be argued that GTK should do this itself on a _set_transient call, so
you might want to file a bug with them.
