I'm developing a new window manager to expirement with
new ways to organize user workspaces. As part of that,
I need to know which window belongs to a given process
(or instance of a certain program).

Currently,I have my system programmed to assume that
all   new windows opened are from the program that was
launched when the user last clicked a button on a
control-panel (taskbar) that I made. This is a very
bad solution, and has caused lots of problems.

Is there a way to tell which window belongs to which
program?

With IP you can tell where a packet is from. Is it
possible to tell where X Events come from in a similar
way?
