Thank you.  Appreciate that.  However, doing the "windows %n %i"
and grepping is quite bloaty when I want to translate a X id to
an rp id from within my C code.

If you would save code all around, instead of making the window
number (according to rp) be the optional argument to delete,
gravity, etc, make it be the X window id.  Shell scripts can
then do the grep thing, and people using xlib inside C code
can simply insert their window id.
