Still impossible to determine this from the information provided with Qt 5.6.1 . I think the likelihood that QT_MAC_USE_COCOA is ever not set is extremely small nowadays, so if you want I can just drop the check completely.

A new method could then be added (to `KWindowInfo`?) to distinguish `WId`s created by the running application from "foreign" ones (useful also on Wayland and MS Windows).
