Has anyone here used it enough to know how to get the current window id? Or any window id? I am guessing I have to get all of them using XQueryTree() and choose.
Is there a better way?

C programming resources:
GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
The C Book -- nice online learner guide
Current ISO draft standard
CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
I would have thought the answer to such a basic thing would be...well everywhere and I am not seeing it. Let me dig through my books on X...

OK this looks like a long way around the block so to speak but here is a link to a code-fragment that does essentially that. With a little elbow grease it could be bent to your will: Its about a guy trying to externally manipulate open office windows by ID...
Window ID
Cheers.
When you create a window you get its id; you can also easily get the root window id via some macros as this is a particular case; you can get window ids by subscribing to any window-related event (creation, destruction, resizing, etc.). The last method is to walk the window tree as you suggested.
