Unfortunately using _NET_WM_PID isn't reliable on sandboxed applications, leading to a bug with Flatpak and Firejail as seen here: https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/issues/301. This commit disables the functionality completely, fixing the sandbox issue.

Just a note: another alternative may be using the XResQueryClientIds X extension instead of _NET_WM_PID to get the window owner, which should be more reliable, but I have yet to try if it fixes this issue in particular.
