What do you mean by running? It looks like /proc fulfills that
requirement. Alternatively, perhaps you just want all graphical
applications (those shown by the task switcher).

It will be in

http://maemo.gitorious.org/fremantle-hildon-desktop/hildon-desktop

(the TODO here mentions the task switcher)

A bit of looking & grepping for switcher in the tree releals some
promising functions. Esp. in src/mb.

It looks like the task switcher queries X for a list of top-level windows.

Cheers,
Dave.
