So, is there any way I can get a UUID for a server, without setting it

talking to the same server. I don't see an easy way to do this, given
that there are a number of different ways to express the name of the
server, particularly from different machines.
Canonically you want to set a root window property, probably to a
random string from /dev/{,u}random. If you don't find the property,
set it. Unfortunately there isn't any such property provided by
default.
$DISPLAY is indeed quite useless for this, it can be a proxied
connection via ssh or xmove2, etc.
