Dialogs should be floated above thier parent, not at random #454

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run an application that opens dialogs asynchronously, such as Firefox or 
Thunderbird
2. work elsewhere in the desktop

When a dialog (such as password dialog) is spawned by Firefox or Thunderbird it 
appears in random place in stack order, possibly even on a different workspace 
and different screen.

The dialog should be floated above the window for which it is transient. It 
both makes sense and avoids many issues from issue 95

Xmonad running on Debian.
