If you do it in the window manager (not the control center) using Window 
Menu -> Advanced -> Special Window Settings (starting from an instance 
of the kind of window you want to control) the window identifying 
criteria will be filled in with defaults for the window whose window 
menu you started form.

Alternatively, in the Window tab (of the Edit Window-Specific Settings 
dialog), there's a Detect button. Press Detect and then click on the 
window that is the example of the kind of window you want to configure.

In both cases, the window definition criteria are derived from the 
specific window. Often that's sufficient to get the right criteria for 
future windows. Sometimes you need to refine the criteria.
