Personally, I think it would be prudent to stick with "windowname" here.
A novice user might think it appropriate to specify, say, a window resource
& then be surprised to learn that some other window with a matching
_title_ was matched.
How about:
Wait windowname
This command is intended to be used in fvwm functions only. It
causes execution of a function to pause until a new window matching
windowname appears. A window can match windowname on either its
title, class or resource. This is particularly useful in
"InitFunction" if you are trying to start windows on specific desks
or pages:
It's still not perfect - any suggested improvements?

Ok.
