If you can locate the program that owns the window, then you can
identify the package with `dpkg -S`.

To identify the program:

    $ ps -A > 1.txt

<start the program>

    $ ps -A > 2.txt

Then run diff to see the list of candidate programs:

    $ diff 1.txt 2.txt

Finally, run `dpkg -S` using the full path of the program, like /usr/bin/foo.
