in pure X... you can't. end of story. Now.. if clients were to put properties on their
windows with machine names, PID's etc... that would help
(I'd point you to a little handy LD_PRELOAD tool called ehack - it's in enlightenment
CVS under the e17/apps/e tree. it's an LD_PRELOAD library that forces an X app to put
many properties on their top-level windows. one of these is their PID) :)
I also think that the EWMH hints specify a PID property - but its not enforced.
