Which? The htop part? The title string you pass to the terminal must
exactly match the title string in the window test (title =? "whatever").
There are ways to change this if needed, but unless it can identify the
window precisely when it appears, it will not be able to float or position
it. (X11 does not provide any way to match running a command to a window
opening; indeed, there is no mapping at all between processes and windows
(consider remote TCP connections and ssh X11 forwarding; also, some
command-line browsers use this to draw graphics in terminal windows, and
Acrobat Reader uses this to open windows inside a browser. This is also
used by desk applets that can "swallow" arbitrary windows).
