By watching for new windows and guessing which one is right. I don't
think there is any reliable general technique for establishing which
windows were created by which process.

Merely waiting will not do because the window manager plays an active
role in mapping client windows. Sawfish must return to its event loop in
order to process the new window. You could modify one of the hooks that
get called on window creation to have your own code run at that time.
However, as Chris pointed out your case looks like a job for window
matching rules. If you need to distinguish these terminals from others,
you might check whether gnome-terminal has a command line option similar
to xterm -name, i.e., if it lets you specify the application instance
name (the first part of WM_CLASS).
