That'll be the window ID, I guess.

If you know the ID of a window, you can operate on it. If p4win wants 
p4v to draw in a window owned by p4win, it can to tell p4v the ID of 
that window and p4v feeds the number into this function:

The IDs are assigned by the window system and are essentially random. 
Any decent GUI toolkit should be able to tell you the ID of a window 
you created, though, so if you have a window, you can make p4v draw in 
it.

(I'm simplifying a little bit.)
