584<p>Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
585shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it
586quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to

591</dd>
592<dd>
593<p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
594descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
595can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the

1399will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1400no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
