This might help:
(defun icicle-make-window-alist (&optional all-p)
"Return an alist of entries (WNAME . WINDOW), where WNAME names WINDOW.
The name of the buffer in a window is used as its name, unless there
is more than one window displaying the same buffer. In that case,
WNAME includes a suffix [NUMBER], to make it a unique name. The
NUMBER order among window names that differ only by their [NUMBER] is
arbitrary.
Non-nil argument ALL-P means use windows from all visible frames.
Otherwise, use only windows from the selected frame."
(lexical-let ((win-alist ())
(count 2)
wname new-name)
(walk-windows (lambda (w)
(setq wname (buffer-name (window-buffer w)))
(if (not (assoc wname win-alist))
(push (cons wname w) win-alist)
(setq new-name wname)
(while (assoc new-name win-alist)
(setq new-name (format "%s[%d]" wname count)
count (1+ count)))
(push (cons new-name w) win-alist))
(setq count 2))
'no-mini
(if all-p 'visible 'this-frame))
win-alist))
(This is used in command `icicle-select-window-by-name', which in turn is the
action function for multi-command `icicle-select-window'. Code here:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/download/icicles-cmd1.el.)
I'm guessing that there are other, similar functions available on Emacs Wiki -
start here, perhaps: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryWindows
