I use something like:

        self.prefWindow=hildon.Window()
        self.prefWindow.set_title("Preferences")
        self.prefWindow.set_modal(True)
        self.prefWindow.set_transient_for(self.mainWindow)
        self.prefWindow.set_type_hint(gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG)

Hopes it helps :)
