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...
