KWin adds these — or at least it did. IRC the functionality was removed.

How do you manage to have two windows with the same titles that you can't tell apart? Are their contents actually identical?

No, it is just nice to know which window is which.  Seems like an 
unnecessary regression.  I am old I do not care for change for change sake.
Thanks for looking into it for me.

It was dropped because the window numbering implementation was buggy and its usefulness was doubtful in comparison to the visual aides such as window thumbnails.
