The 'app' method is listed as a read-only attribute of the FXId class, on
this page:

    http://www.fxruby.org/doc/api/classes/Fox/FXId.html

You are correct that none of the attribute accessor methods (such as
FXId#app) show up in RDoc's "Methods" pane. Perhaps that is a feature
recommendation that could be made to RDoc's developer(s).

Since 'app' is a (read-only) attribute of the FXId class, you can access its
value using the FXId#app instance method, e.g.

    theWindowApp = theWindow.app

or, if you wish, you can use the (undocumented) getApp() method:

    theWindowApp = theWindow.getApp()

These are equivalent. There is no FXId class variable named "@@app", nor is
there an FXId instance variable "@app", however.
