This could be related to the problem that I've failed to solve for 10 years:
HOW2 know in which of 26 WorkSpaces, Xterm [known pid & cwd] is located.
Eg. with 99 Xterms spread over 26 WS;
where's the one with mc open-on <Path/File>.

OK then, `stty -a -F /dev/pts/0` looks interesting too.

re. my problem:
in the days of KDE3 `pstree` corresponded to the tree of
WorkSpaces / Xterminals.
Now I prefer blackbox to KDE or any other.
Here's part of `pstree`
|-2*[xterm---mcedit]
|-2*[xterm---bash---mc---bash]
|-linux.oberon.no---pstree
|-xterm---bash---xpdf
|-xterm---mc---bash---Wf---wily
All the Xterms all hang-off of
|-bash---startx---xinit-+-X
| `-blackbox-
instead of being grouped per WorkSpace.
Since blackbox's menu shows the Xterms per WS,
the required info is available; but with old kde, I could
ask in which WS/s <Name> was located, instead of
manually searching.
Since Xterms can be moved between WSs, apparently
they don't 'belong' to any WS, unlike PIDs who can't
change parent?
But Xterms do have common-parents, in the sense that
blackbox's menu shows them grouped under a common WS.
WDYS?
