We discussed this on IRC last week and then in this Monday's hangout. The way it should work is: 1. Client has some sort of scheme to generate DBus object name for the window (the particulars don't matter, could be a uuid). 2. It tells the windowing system about this object name. On X11 it could set a prop on the window, on Wayland it need a new custom protocol in KWayland. The code for this could be encapsulated in KWindowSystem, or just be in WMD itself. 3. The server then gets the DBus object name from the windowing system. E.g. libtaskmanager: On X11 it has the winid, which it can use to read the prop. On Wayland it has the PlasmaWindow interface from KWayland, which will get a getter to get the object name that kwin has been told about in #2. 4. Now it can grab the metadata from DBus. That means no more global ids - the object name itself becomes the handle.
