I think it may be trying to use X "window groups" which is an example of 
an excessively complex api to try to solve this. It has not worked and 
Gimp is now giving up on having floating windows, just like everybody else.

I also tried X window groups to fix this for our software and was unable 
to get it to work at all, though it was partly due to broken 
implementaions, not just design. It was ridiculously complex, too, and 
still could not do the arbitrary window ordering I wanted.
