Or run 'xwininfo' at the command line.
and 'man xwininfo' mentions 'xprop'
-k.

I have used this recently, and David's description is perfectly correct,
so here is a working example.
Run the following wish script to get a window and ID (alternatively
check out "man xwininfo" for finding the id of some other window if you
don't have wish installed)
------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# the next line restarts using wish \
exec wish "$0" "$@"
frame .test -width 500 -height 500
listbox .windowid -height 1
button .exit -text "Exit" -command exit
set frameid [winfo id .test]
.windowid insert end $frameid
pack .exit .test .windowid
------------------------------------------------------------ -
Then in IDL
IDL Version 5.5a (linux x86). (c) 2001, Research Systems, Inc.
IDL> window, set_x_id='0x380000e'X
IDL> plot, findgen(100)
Of course yout must insert the appropriate ID (in hex above). Works with
no problems for me. Don't know about Motif though...

The ID must be the ID of a X window "visual". I
don't recall now what this is exactly, but I'm
pretty sure it is not the display number
sequence you used. This is a number that the
operating system assigns to a window when
it is created.
You can probably use the GET_X_ID keyword when
you create a window in IDL to see what one of
these would look like. You will have to do some
Motif programming, I guess, to get to it.
Cheers,
David

Dear David,
interesting suggestion. I checked it out with the following result
IDL Version 5.4.1 (linux x86). (c) 2000, Research Systems, Inc.
IDL> window,set_x_id='194.94.209.12:0.0'
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0xaa)!
% X windows protocol error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter).
It seems the keyword is still there but the connection to the X server
could not be established.
regards,
B.St.

if you have a look into idls online help you can read.
DISPLAY
IDL uses the DISPLAY environment variable to choose which X display is
used to display graphics.

Well, years ago you could do this with undocumented keywords
to the X windows driver. I'm not sure it can still be done.
The keywords were SET_X_ID and SET_X_PID for the X window
ID and X pixmap window id, respectively. Use them on a WINDOW command
to set up the window to use the X ID of an existing X
drawable. If present, IDL does not create the required
drawable, but uses the one pointed to by the ID.
Best of luck. I'm thinking you will need it. :-)
Cheers,
David
