I just made a patch that allows to place transient windows as any
other windows.  You can get it with the current source
distribution, tomorrow's snapshot or with the upcoming 2.4.1
release (within a few weeks).

If it does not work out of the box for the applications in
question, try

  Style * NoTransientPPosition

and if that does not help try

  Style * NoTransientPPosition, NoTransientUSPosition

Bye
