Note that you can't make your root toplevel window (.) a transient, only
new toplevels. What transient is meant for is pop-up dialog windows.
"Transient" don't get their own icon (on the task bar or whatever) and
cannot be minimized on their own. They get minimized, when the window
that they are transient for gets minimized. They also are supposed to
always be on top of the window that they are transient for.
