winedbg --command 'info wnd'
Window handle        Class Name        Style    WndProc          Thread   Text
00010020             #32769            96000000 0000000000000000 00000080 -- Empty --
 (...)
 0001005c            EVA_Window_Dblclk 960f0000 0000000000000000 00000108 kakaotalk
  (...)
  000100f8           BannerAdWnd       52000000 0000000000000000 00000108 -- Empty --

my goal is to close an ad by its window handle, 000100f8. however, I was unable to find any information.

xkill will fail because since window handle is part of another window (also doesn't show up on wmctrl -l)

xkill -id 000100f8
xkill:  killing creator of resource 0x40
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  113 (X_KillClient)
  Value in failed request:  0x40
  Serial number of failed request:  8
  Current serial number in output stream:  9

winedbg only shows window info, not a way to manipulate them

I'm afraid your only option is win32 or wpf api programming and building portable exe under windows os which you could later test using wine prefix =)

or if your unwanted window has a dedicated process id (but I don't think so xD) check it via `winedbg --command 'info process'` then you're lucky and you could kill it using `echo "taskkill /f /pid 666whateverpid` or `echo "taskkill /f /im ProcessName.exe" | wine cmd.exe -c`

Score:0

I think the better way to resolve your initial problem is simply restricting that IPs & domains (in /etc/hosts) from where you receive advertisements ... so trace network activity of that "kakaotalk" app and try to eliminate advs

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
