GLUT intentionally does not make this information available, in order to maintain maximal windowing system neutrality.

You might be able to work around this restriction by creating a window, then immediately calling glXGetCurrentDrawable(). This returns a GLXDrawable. For GLUT windows, this is probably the same as the underlying Xlib Window. I have tested this on my system and it seems to be working, but YMMW.
