RE: Help me in the relationship between Xlib's windowID and GTK w idget

this is ugly, i know -- but if you know the name (title) of app B, you can
pipe a call to xwininfo to get the X windows ID number for it.

X windows are a server resources, which is why one app can see the 
windows of another.  However, the GtkWidget structures are client side, 
so you can't access them, so what you ask isn't really possible.

Without knowing what you are trying to do, it is a bit difficult to 
recommend an alternative.  For some problems, Bonobo might be the answer.
