Something like xlsclients might do the job. For more information on
each window, try xwininfo with the -name option; something like this:

  xwininfo -name 'Mail - Kontact'

The xprop program can provide plenty more detail, and both programs
accept a -root option to refer to the root window instead of a named
window.
