You can use getobjectlist ('<Window name>')

More info available here
http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/user-doc/getobjectlist.html

All window related functions available here
http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/user-doc/window.html

In dogtail they had some code that'd walk the tree by querying for each

We have more than 150 ready made API's and most of them are documented here
http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/user-doc/index.html

Lastly, how can I help?  I've been developing in C since '82, in C++

That will be awesome. We are moving the framework from C to python. We need
lots of help in this area. Also, if you could populate the widget hierarchy
info inside LDTP Editor in LDTP format will be nice :)

Thanks
