If *really* you can identify all processes as shown by, say, htop in tree mode run by root, and you are sure than none of them gives the unusual window, then either your box has been hacked or you have found a big bug (in htop or the kernel), or the process is really run by another host and only connects to your X server (but then you should see the connection with netstat, either directly as tcp connection, or as a tcp ssh connection plus a unix socket). Also note that the xkill man page suggests at the end xwininfo So I would double ckeck. Closing all not indispensable processes might help, as also using tree mode (the window should be in the tree of processes after the Xserver process, and the parent processes might give an idea of which process spawned the window process. Unless the window has been orphaned) -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te. Digli di smettere. Informatica=arsenico: minime dosi in rari casi patologici, altrimenti letale.
