It returns the number of top-level windows in _an_ application.  It
doesn't have a way to reach through the X server and query which X apps
are gtk apps, and query them for how many top-level windows _they_ have.

Each of your apps (that you've instrumented) apparently have only one
top-level window.  gtk supports having more than one top-level window in
an application, but apparently none of the apps in which you make that
call are using more than 1.
