wmutils doesn't work well with reparenting WM like the one used in KDE plasma. Try tu use `pdw` instead of `pfw` to get the ID of the decoration window rather than the reparented window.

…I call something like `wmv 17 33 0x010196c6` and nothing happens. The window does not move.
I double checked that the window ID is correct.

`pfw` gives the ID of the window that has keyboard focus. In your case, this window is the child of a decoration window created by your DE. When you run `lsw` it only lists the IDs of the direct children of the root window.
To list the children of a specific window, use `lsw $WID`.

…Now I have a follow-up issue though. The ID I get for some windows with pfw actually does not appear in lsw -a. Why could that be?

Well, I was using lsw, and pdw gives me the same ID. The pfw ID actually works with wmv.
It's my fault. I was using "lsw" instead of "lsw -a". The geometries shown by wattr looked right, so I didn't realize I had the wrong IDs. My understanding of how parent and child windows work is somewhat limited. I guess I was trying to move unmovable child windows.

Now I have a follow-up issue though. The IDs I get for "normal" windows (Firefox, Kate, Dolphin etc, like, the ones I can move around with a mouse) with "pfw" actually do not appear in "lsw -a". Why could that be?

Okay, I guess I should use "wmctrl -l" instead of wmutils to get window IDs.
