My gut feeling is that esp for command line applications, a call equivalent to $ xwininfo -d $DISPLAY -root will be a better solution than creating a QApplication (rather than a QCoreApplication) to query the root window ID. Alternatively, use Xlib APIs. If there’s really no other way than adding something like QScreen::rootWindowId() to Qt, then we can evaluate that, but it’s a niche problem that didn’t justify that we keep the outdated QDesktopWidget, or concepts that don’t translate well to other platforms around for now.
