| Jan 18, 2022 at 19:04 | comment | added | xproot | Well even if it wasn't malware I'd love to get rid of it, it gets annoying having to close it, btw unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5478/… DOES NOT HELP in this occasion, none of the parents or children have associated PIDs | |
| Jan 18, 2022 at 18:50 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | It's unlikely to be malware: why would malware bother to create a window at all? And make it visible? Creating a visible window doesn't give it any additional privileges. Querying _NET_WM_PID relies on the application setting it, which many do but not all. | |
