How do I do Motif Window Manager client decorations for secondary windows?

	Working with X11R4 and Motif 1.0.3 (we will upgrade shortly), I
have been trying to put Mwm trimmings on 'secondary' windows; ie there is
an application shell (a 'primary' window) between them and the root.  I
want Mwm trimmings on the shell (which happens automatically) and also
on some specific sub-windows.  From the documentation it sounds like
setting the Mwm*client*transientDecoration and Mwm*client*transientFunctions
resources to 'all' for each of these clients should work, but it doesn't.
Isn't the TRANSIENT_FOR property of a window set for the windows of the
client widgets from the parent information supplied when creating the
widgets?  Do I need to set this property myself?  Do I have to do something
with WM_HINTS?  What am I missing?
