    Well, but most all dialogs should be transient to something.  That's 
just the way a dialog should be.  At the very least, we could provide a 
helper proc to get the "best guess" transient parent.  I typically do 
something like this:

proc ttk::parentWindow { {toplevel .} } {
    return [lindex [wm stackingorder $toplevel] end]
}

ttk::dialog -parent [ttk::parentWindow]


    Or some such nonsense. 0-]
