AFAIK, they aren't. Try the following simple experiment: start a download,
then close all other windows. The download continues until the end, then the
program exits. I don't think it would do that if the download window was a
transient.

In my opinion, on the closure of a transient, if fvwm can't deduce the new
focus from the mouse position[1], it should move to the parent of the
transient. This will occasionally do "the wrong thing" for people with
click-to-focus on and auto-raise off, but it serves them right for mixing
their metaphors.


[1] ie. ClickToFocus is on, or SloppyFocus is on and the mouse pointer is
over the root window.
