i have a small shell function that does this in a project i'm working on.
this isn't the least hackish way of doing it, but here goes:
get_desktop_owner ()
{
owner_display=$1;
w | awk '{print $1" "$2}' | grep "$owner_display$" | awk '{print $1}'
}
example:
copelandia[~]07:29:50$ get_desktop_owner :0

i invite someone to invent a better way, i'd like to hear it :)
