"urxvt -pe kuake" fails with X error

Today, I wanted to try the kuake extension of urxvt. Yet it crashes with:

$ urxvt -pe kuake
urxvt: An X Error occured, trying to continue after report.
urxvt: X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
urxvt: Major opcode of failed request:  33
urxvt: (which is X_GrabKey)
urxvt: Serial number of failed request:  108
urxvt: An X Error occured, trying to continue after report.
urxvt: X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
urxvt: Major opcode of failed request:  33
urxvt: (which is X_GrabKey)
urxvt: Serial number of failed request:  182

Any ideas?

Re: "urxvt -pe kuake" fails with X error

urxvt -pe kuake binds F10 as the toggle key by default. I guess that F10 is already bound by your wm/DE or some other program, which would explain the above errors. Try using a different key, e.g. use

urxvt -pe 'kuake<F11>'

ı've tried it with F1 to F12, none works. I don't think it's a keybinding conflict issue.

Re: "urxvt -pe kuake" fails with X error

Do your attempts result in the same error message(s)? Concerning the original errors, man 3 XGrabKey clearly states:

BadAccess   A client attempted to grab a key/button combination already
                    grabbed by another client.

Note that since the kuake extension binds the keycode with AnyModifier, the bind will fail if any possible modifier combination is already grabbed with the supplied keycode, according to man XGrabKey.

Yes, they all results in the same error. I try to make it bind to F12 (which is used only by tilda). Closing tilda didn't help. Even removing tilda doesn't work.
