Is there any cross-platform way to figure out which window is at a certain point on the screen?
If there is not, what would be the equivalent function to getWindowAtPoint for linux (X11?) and OS X?

There is functionality in Swing to identify the component at a given point. There is no support in the Java Runtime for inquering about other windows, but the robot-classes can grab screenshots.
