I've put a preliminary version of the patch here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2570385&group_id=2055&atid=302055
[ 2570385 ] GPVAL_X11_WINDOWID

It needs some further work:

1. The number 12345 in gplt_x11.c should be replaced by the actual window 
   id. This is a task for an X11 guru.

2. The same for wxt terminal.

3. New global variable current_x11_windowid should be placed in an .h + .c 
   file. Which one?

4. Should it be called GPVAL_TERM_WINDOWID or GPVAL_X11_WINDOWID ? The wxt 
   terminal can run not only under X11, but e.g. under windows as well. Is 
   there something like window id?
