pgrep <the App.>
shows the pid/s of the several copies of the running App,
and
pstree -p
shows the pid/s of the various apps.

Where would the info be that ties the pid to the
Desktop & console?

== TIA.

I use ps -ef | grep <application>
The second parameter is the parent id.
then I use ps -ef | grep <id>
so I can see it's parent id. Eventually that'll lead to the window
manager, then eventually to init.

There are also gui process monitors like gnome-system-monitor that
have options for a tree view, or 'ps -ejH'
