Otherwise we shouldn't use "transient". Transient in the context of windowing system has the meaning parent-child relationship. That's the only usage of the word I know. E.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_%28computer_programming%29#X On Wayland the situation is exactly the same and what this API provides is a parent-child relationship - which is a transient. Following the description of Wikipedia the child window will not outlife the parent window, thus it's a "transient" or a "temporary" window.
