It my mind the problem here isn't long or short names, but consistency.
Imagine that the declaration in the *.H has parameters with long names,
but the definition in the *.cxx file has short or missing names, and you
have to write the doxygen comments in the *.cxx file. It will confuse the
next person to come along if you talk about \param windowtop, but the
code you see right under it says 'p' ... a la Fl_Slider::scrollvalue()
