How would that be possible? It seems the about dialog can only be called
from the main window (or did I miss something?). Other dialogs that can
be opened from different menus certainly do need more care.

I do agree iff the dialog in question can be spawned from more than one
window. The main purpose of the patch was to get an idea if using
set_transient_for is the right thing to do.
