Probably should also keep in mind that a single application (e.g. process) might appear to an Xserver as multiple Xclients. (I think the most common case would be a multi-thread QT app).
I've seen this also occur for "modeless" dialogs where an app either forks or spins a thread to handle the modeless dialog. To the Xserver, it looks like an entirely new Xclient (new connection, new XID, etc), but the Xclient process (in a threaded case) is the same pid.
