In all of my tests so far, the name has always shown up in the "Parent
window id" line except for the one window where I was ssh'd into another
host[1] and I got the help output instead. I *think* it should suffice
to grep for the Parent label since I don't have any complicated
relationships among my terms. Even when I shift-ctrl-N in a term to
create a new one, that one lists its own title and the original term
still lists 0 children.
Best,
Glenn
