Well, I can close them by holding meta and middle clicking on the
titelbar, and then choosing close from the window menu.  It's a bit
tedious though.

I've been looking on the web for some specifications on how transient
windows should be handled by window managers, but I haven't been able to
find any.  So, feel free to reassign this bug to sawfish, if you feel it
belongs there.

Greetings,
