You can use :title to match on window title.  Does that help?

See http://www.nongnu.org/stumpwm/manual/stumpwm_5.html#SEC21

Also note that you can use the stumpwm command show-window-properties
to conveniently show you the properties of a window that can be
matched on, and list-window-properties for a complete list.

I believe this is a feature of the application.  We've had similar
problems with some versions of openoffice.  Can you unmap the key
within Cinelerra?
