No there is no way to do this.  Sorry.  X was designed expecting that the 
clients an X server manages are actually hosted on some other machine.  So 
the pid would be worthless.

There is _NET_WM_PID however not all apps support it and you still have the 
non local window issue to deal with.

I have commented on this in the past because there is no good way in X to 
connect a X Window to a running process.  This fact makes it hard to do 
things like "a window is opening, oh there it is".
