[SOLVED] urxvt hangs in awesome/dwm

I'm experimenting with dwm and awesome window managers. The trouble is that urxvt seems to go haywire. It works just fine in KDE, but in these other WMs it has a few problems. It starts up at the top left corner, covering the ...is it called a status bar in these WMs? The equivalent of the panel in DEs, anyway. It cannot be moved, hidden, or killed, and it exists on all tags/desktops. Urxvt seems to be the only thing that has this problem.

Right now I'm using the default awesome config, and no compositor. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I really love urxvt as my terminal.

awesome version 3.4.10
urxvt version 9.11-2
.Xdefaults:

# interface:
URxvt.geometry: 84x35
URxvt.background: Black
URxvt.foreground: White
URxvt.borderLess: true
URxvt.borderColor: #555555
URxvt.internalBorder: 0
URxvt.externalBorder: 0
URxvt.scrollBar_right: false
URxvt.scrollBar: false
#URxvt.transparent: true
#URxvt.tintColor: Black
#URxvt.shading: 40
#urxvt.depth: 32
#urxvt.background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/bbbb

# background image:
#urxvt.backgroundPixmap: ~/pics/saved/2011-04-29/Wallpapers-room_com__Bull_Nebula_by_Notmyiown_1680x1050.png

# colours:
urxvt.color12: #1181ff

# font:
URxvt.font: xft:Courier New:size=12

# yankable URLs:
URxvt.perl-ext: default,url-select
URxvt.keysym.M-u: perl:url-select:select_next
URxvt.urlLauncher: firefox
URxvt.underlineURLs: true

# clipboard:
#URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,clipboard

(settings for transparency commented out in case they were causing this problem, but it didn't help)

Hmm. Maybe try commenting the geometry line? Only thing I see that might lead to issues. Still, doubt it would cause what you're experiencing.

Nope, doesn't seem to help.

Not a thing.

It's also curious that even on a tiled tag/desktop, it's floating.

Re: [SOLVED] urxvt hangs in awesome/dwm

What´s happend if you put it in a rule? Something like:
{ rule = { class = "Rxvt" }, properties = { floating = false, tag = tags[1][5]} },
