Lift whatever string-match or regexp function you need to the monad?
For example, it looks like you could match isInfixOf on (/tmp); here's
an existing example
q ~? x = fmap (x `isInfixOf`) q
myManageHook = (composeAll . concat $ --shifting actions
[ [ title =? x --> doCenterFloatToAll | x <- important ]
....
, [ className =? "Skype" <&&> title ~? "Call with " -?>
doSideFloat' CE ]

In pentadactyl (a firefox addon) you can write in an external editor instead a textbox, by default it spawns a gvim window and everytime it opens a pentadactyl.txt in tmp folder. Imho that behaviour is way more easier writing on a floating window.
Using xprop I found the WM_NAME it's the only variable that doesn't change, so I thought that using it in my myManageHook would do it.
$ xprop | grep 'WM_NAME' WM_NAME(STRING) = "pentadactyl.txt (/tmp) - GVIM"
myManageHook = (composeAll , concat $ [ , [ className =? "stalonetray" --> doIgnore] -- a lot of output removed -- , [ title =? "pentadactyl.txt (/tmp) - GVIM" --> doFloat] ]
I restarted xmonad, reopened the editor and I found that it doesn't work, I tried to check wm_name again, and guess what?
WM_NAME(STRING) = "pentadactyl.txt (/tmp) - GVIM1"
Obviously the last part "GVIM" changes all the time, so I can't know in advance which is gonna pick.
There's some way to regexp the wm_name part? Until now, I couldn't find anything about this topic :(
