Added a workaround in 994d355. The window can still be detected and time can be allocated to it but the owner of the window will be "unknown".

This happens because all windows are not given a PID on creation.
Some linked issues/threads:
Someone trying to get the window id from PID - There is a mailarchive with a codesnippet for a LD_PRELOAD that supposedly gives all windows a PID upon creation.
Someone trying to kill a window with no PID
