Beware the Client.transient_for. It can be set to a !NULL value of TRAN_GROUP,
which is not a valid pointer. You must ALWAYS check for TRAN_GROUP before
following transient_for. When TRAN_GROUP is found, Client.group will always
be !NULL. Some smart action should be taken using all members of the group in
this case.
Smart action idea:
Skip over members of the group that are also transients of the group
(have Client.transient_for set to TRAN_GROUP). These windows are not
ancestors and using them will also end up causing infinite loops!
following transient_for. However if it is transient for the group, this
excludes other windows whom are transient for the group, and windows which
are children of the window (infinite loops would result)!
When using coordinates/sizes of windows, make sure you use the right area. The
Client.area rect is the reference point and size of the *CLIENT* window. This
