dwm + urxvt (making a permanent terminal on a tag)

Is it possible to have an instance of urxvt running on one dwm tag and binding it with fixed geometry and making it unmovable, and non-dependent when changing tiling to float/monocle/tiling?

There's a pertag patch that lets you set layout (float/monocle/tiling) per tag instead of globally.

What do you mean by unmovable?

Fixed to root window. Maybe you could compare it to a conky instance running on desktop.

No, this isn't possible. It's also difficult to see the usefulness of this. The window would almost constantly be obscured.

You're probably right, but I've seen this being done with other window managers and terminals.
I'd like to achieve it with is dwm and urxvt.
