How to get window ID (wid) ?

Hi !

I want to use KDocker (app that docks everything in the systemtray)
with the -w wid option that specifies what window must be docked

I don't have idea about the command to retrieve the window id (wid) of a running app.

I've tried :

man xfwm4

and

xfwm4 --help-all

But this didn't gave me no hint

So if someone knows that command,
shoud be nice to tell me...

..Thanks

wmctrl will return the windowID.

wmctrl -l
