The "extended wm hints" specification adds the _NET_WM_PID property, but, as usual, the important applications have no idea of the spec. And, still, this is of no help if the program is not running on the local machine, or if the parent process has multiple windows scattered around. There should be a better way to pass the information around from which frame a program was started, and that requires application support. -- Tuomo
