the Wm sets a property on the roto window:

xprop -root
...
_XROOTCOLOR_PIXEL(CARDINAL) = 0
_XROOTPMAP_ID(PIXMAP): pixmap id # 0x800014
ENLIGHTENMENT_COMMS(STRING) = "WINID   800013"
WIN_WORKSPACE(CARDINAL) = 0
ENLIGHTENMENT_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 0
WIN_WORKSPACE_COUNT(CARDINAL) = 16
ATOM) = WIN_LAYER, WIN_STATE, WIN_HINTS, WIN_APP_STATE, WIN_EXPANDED_SIZE
_MOTIF_WM_INFO(_MOTIF_WM_INFO) = 0x2, 0x54
WM_ICON_SIZE(WM_ICON_SIZE):
                minimum icon size: 8 by 8
                maximum icon size: 48 by 48
                incremental size change: 1 by 1
...

notice the WIN_PROTOCOLS atom - :)
