I've recently installed Ubuntu 20.4 LTS on one of my computers. This release of Ubuntu uses the gnome desktop manager (3.36.3) with gnome-terminal (3.36.2) by default.

In each terminal window that I open, the GNOME_TERMINAL_SCREEN environment variable is defined to "/org/gnome/Terminal/screen/some-guid", where each terminal window's GUID is unique.

Does anyone know what this variable is supposed to be used for? Is there some way of using the GUID in Xlib or XCB to identify the terminal's X window?
