+ *
+ * Returns the #MetaWindow for the window that is pointed to by the
+ * WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint on this window (see XGetTransientForHint()
+ * or XSetTransientForHint()). Metacity keeps transient windows above their
+ * parents. A typical usage of this hint is for a dialog that wants to stay
+ * above its associated window.
+ *
+ * Return value: (transfer none): the window this window is transient for, or
+ * %NULL if the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint is unset or does not point to a toplevel
+ * window that Metacity knows about.
