[Sawfish] jump-or-exec

[D M German <dmg@xxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

When trying to create a new window using a command (gnome-terminal), how
do I get the window identifier of the window?

I am doing the following:
  
               ;; create window
               (jump-or-exec "decker" "/home/dmg/bin/decker.sh" nil)
               ;; make it sticky
               (make-window-sticky (get-window-by-name "decker"))

But... jump-or-exec does execute the window, but now that window is
"being" created while I continue executing this code. The window does
not exist by the time (get-window-by-name "decker") gets executed (it
exists later, I have tested). If I put a (sleep-for <few seconds>)
sawfish stops, but that does not fix the problem.

any ideas how can I wait after the exec before I ask for the window that
was just recently created?

thanks!
