[gameprogrammer] Xlib

This might not exactly be game related, but has anyone
had any experience with getting human readable
identities for windows in X?
I can query the root window tree and loop through all
the mapped windows getting the wm_name, wm_class, etc,
but I can't come up with a meaningful list of open
windows.

To clarify what I'm trying to do, consider running an
"xshell" where you can issue a command like
/listwindows, identify the window you want to perform
an operation on and then movewindow window_id, x, y.
Doing this without a WM specific API would be nice,
for instance I'd rather not use DCOP or the like.
