I vaguely remember a way to identify the process associated with a
window, or perhaps it was a diagnostic windows tree-walk (or ..?..).

At first I thought it was xwininfo, but that seems not to give any
process info, and I can't find anything else in the xorg-xii-utils package.

OK, I do see that
  xwininfo -root -tree
or
  wwininfo -root -all
gives names of executables, which presumably are the owner of a window,
but although there are xwindows identifiers nowhere do I see any process
ids.

The immediate question is how to identify the process owning a
particular window, but I'm also interested in the general subject.

Maybe I should look at the source for xkill?

Regards,
..jim
