This has been sitting in my inbox for a while, so I forget if someone
else gave an answer.
My own opinion is that the connection between processes and windows is
flexible enough that there is no way to make the connection.
Certainly, if the window is created from a remote system, the PID may
not even exist. (The window may not even be created by a UNIX
system.)
