When I click on "Close Window" button for the unresponsive python-based app 'meld', message from window manager shows up offering to kill the non-existent pid. It looks like python libs set wrong pid for windows when python multithreading is in use by this app. Here are my original PRs with detailed description for kde4 and meld: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317750 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697143

Python doesn't know anything about X windows or window properties. (Well, it might in tkinter, but meld appears to use GTK). This is a bug in the meld application or one of the libraries it depends on, not Python or its stdlib.
