detecting the "main" windows on X11 by pid.

When I query application windows by pid. By iterating the window tree. I get a few windows associated for that process. For example if I have an app running with only has one windows showing I still get bunch of windows associated with the process ID when I query the windows manager for windows under that PID.

I followed this example

How do I determine which window is the Main application window. Say I am running firefox, I am looking for the app windows, which all the tabs are underneath.

Thanks.

Check _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE property, for main window it should be _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL
