I vaguely remember a way to identify the process associated with a

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?

Sometimes, if you know what's running in a particular window, you can
match it up with the output of:
ps -Helf
I like to make a virtual terminal wider than the screen when I run that
command (or dump to a file and go in with vim).
