Well the window manger MUST know how many consoles
each desktop has open ?
But when I close and open new consoles and then do:
'find <files-newer than 90 minutes> <in root, usr, home, etc>
I can't see where/that the info about the new console/s is
saved ?!

'pstree -p' shows the ps-tree with all pids,
but none of this tells the (Desktop, Console) pair of a
pid/application.

I used to start appZ in console1 of desktop1, and
...console4 of desktop4, so that by looking at pstree
I could count the 'rows' and know which (D,VT) had
any pid. But that's absurd to have to do.

I've 'browsed' the /proc/<pid> where *I* know what the
(D,VT) is, but can't find it hidden there.

Someone must know how to crack this!

I don't understand which piece of information you are looking for.

Do you want to know the tty number for a process, or do you want to know how
many terminal sessions a user has open, or do you want to know how many terminal
sessions have been spawned by the window manager or what?

ps -ef will tell you all of these things.
