Be aware that:
- This only tells you what started the kernel - you can start a kernel with
the notebook and attach a Qt console to it, and there's no good way to tell
which one has sent a piece of code.
- We want to get rid of that value eventually:

As Matthias mentioned, can you tell us a bit more about what it is that
you're trying to do?

Thanks,
Thomas
