I just ran into the same issue for Evolution. Could it be because Evolution changes the window title to indicate the number of unread messages? The actual window title is: Inbox (1 unread) — Evolution. Also note the UTF-8 large dash.

I solved my problem changed method to get window id with win.get_description() insteadof win.get_xwindow() in a new Meta.Window have no method get_xwindow()
But problem with title still opened.

:file=extension.js

function guessWindowXID(win) {
    let id = null;
    try {
        id = win.get_xwindow();
        if (id)
            return id;
    } catch (err) {
    }
    // debugging for when people find bugs.. always logging this message.
    logMessage("Could not find XID for window with title '${win.title}", true);
    return null;
}

function guessWindowXID(win) {
    let id = null;
    try {
        id = win.get_description();
        if (id)
            return id;
    } catch (err) {
    }
    // debugging for when people find bugs.. always logging this message.
    logMessage("Could not find XID for window with title '${win.title}", true);
    return null;
}

@femike Thanks, this helped me with some windows (konsole, sublime text) on Ubuntu 23.04. Now this extension works with all windows.
