Possible to have two urxvt on the desktop in diff. spots?
I'm trying to find a way to have two different urxvt's on my openbox desktop in different spots. I want the same style on it but just in different spot. Like one for irssi, one for music, etc. I tried adding another applicaiton entry to rc.xml but that didn't work.

Do you mean... Stuck to your desktop, like with devilspie, or just multiple urxvt windows open? You can start multiple instances with .xinitrc if you use startx or slim. You can also just start it a couple times from the menu.

My rc.xml has an application section that puts urxvt on the desktop in a certain position. What I wanna know is can you have it do that but put like 2 or 3 in different areas on the desktop?

Use the -geometry parameter in urxvt?

Re: Possible to have two urxvt on the desktop in diff. spots?
I just found a simple way to get this done by using urxvt's "name" option:
urxvt -name "urxvt-custom"...and simply create an <application name="urxvt-custom"> entry in your rc.conf.
