Does anyone knows a way to identify a Top - level window without using
it's ID.

I mean :

Application ( not yours one ) is running. It has some windows. Now I want
to click on window and obtain some information that will allow identifying
this window for example after killling and re - running it.

It may have another window ID. I cannot use name because some top - level
windows ( for example Motif's pulldown menus ) haven't one.
I cannot use position - it may be changed by user.
I connot use width/height, etc.

Life is brutal.
Maybe there's a way to calculate window ID which 'll be used for next
session?
