Utility windows are never confined to any window. It's just a window
manager hint. And it is even clearly defined how the window manager
should behave when this hint is set. If it cares at all.

Nevertheless, if we can make sure that there's always a leader window,
then using the utility hint is going to work much better than it does
currently.
