oddly enough, on my system there were two of them, one was the parent
of the other.

Is there a reliable way to get the PID of the Xserver which owns the
root window? Either a shell method or one which runs within a child
process would be OK. I know I can get the parent's PID in a program,
but I don't think I can be sure that that will always be the server.
For example the parent might be an XTerm.
With the PID, I can get the server app's serial number which I can
then use to talk to some of the event manager routines.

That was the main thing I learned in all the science classes I took

high school. If you give the principal a cracker soaked in liquid
nitrogen, fog will come out of his nose!
