A known workaround for the “search … --pid …” bug

[Hibou57 (Yannick Duchêne)]

Hi people,

I can't get the search by PID working with xdotool. It invariably replies:

    Can't consume 1 args; are only 0 available. This is a bug.

Searching the web for the error message I get, seems this is a known bug. Unfortunately, without PID based window identification, xdotool is hardly useful, and thus, that's not just a bug, but a big major bug.

As it seems the bug is not solved, I wondered if any one know any kind of trick to workaround that blocking bug.
