323 Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
324 shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it quite
325 a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
326 create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.
327
328 It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file descriptors
329 passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you can use
330 file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
331 terminal. This works regardless of wether the "-embed" option was
332 used or not.
