wunwa - waits until new window appears and then provides its ID (provided by Starbuntu)

wunwa [ <(part of) name of the desired window> ]

The Starbuntu program wunwa waits until either a new window or a desired one will be opened. It is useful if this new window, directly after it pops up, shall get a new window icon or shall be placed p. e. with orient-act-win.

Output: ID of the appearing window

Attention: Often the name of the desired window doesn't match the program command for this window. After having launched the program, you can get its window name by means of the terminal command wmctrl -l.
