Tim, Patrick, Bryn - thanks for valuable tips. xwininfo and xprop are both capable return PID and hostname of window controlling process, which is all I need. Btw, my cryptic process was LXDA Policykit Authentication Agent (/usr/libexec/lxpolkit). I not know why it is launched from XFCE session, maybe some relict from my previous experiments when I was searching some replacement for Gnome 2.x. Fortunately, this applet is well described in XFCE Preferences menu (in contrast with crippled ones as "load color profiles", "unlock certificates" and other weird named applets, for which is problem locate destination file), thus wasn't problem disable it.
