Description [src]

Returns the MetaWindow for the window that is pointed to by the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint on this window (see XGetTransientForHint() or XSetTransientForHint()). Mutter 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

Type: MetaWindow

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 Mutter knows about.

The returned data is owned by the instance.

The return value can be NULL.
