The compositor will provide a special interface to the desktop shell that
exposes this information.  Regular clients are not allowed to know anything
about windows that belong to other clients.

This reminds me of something I forgot to mention in the IRC meeting.
The D-BUS bindings in kwin and plasma effectively provide a way to
circumvent the security features in wayland.  This is something that we
need to think about going forward.
