there is no such thing, really; there may be multiple window task lists in 
multiple top level windows which may or may not accept focus, along with 
multiple top level windows that do not have any window list widgets in them  
.. and this is all internal to plasma-desktop (or plasma-netbook or whatever) 
and isn't exported.

are you holding on to the last activated window id? if so, it may make more 
sense to hold on to the last window id that actually resulted in a menu.

also, if you aren't already, you can ignore windows of various types to make 
it easier, e.g.: NET::Dock, NET::Desktop, NET::TooBar, NET::Menu, NET::Dialog, 
NET::Splash, NET::ToolTip, etc... this will weed out a lot of windows that 
shouldn't result in changes to the top menu bar just because they appear and 
take focus...
