Description

libpmdesktop is a simple library using the Xlib function XQueryTree() which iterates through the window tree looking for an approriate entry which matches the desktop then finds and returns that window ID.

There is one function

Window find_root(Display *Display, int Screen, int DisplayWidth, int DisplayHeight)

which returns an X Window.
