For some unknown reason, it seems to work now, but only after X/awesome
has been running for a while (several hours). There is no obvious reason
as to why it just worked. In my enthusiasm, I restarted awesome and the
issue is back. At least I could run xprop on the properly working urxvtc
window, maybe it is helpful.

I tried to make urxvt stick to a specific tag in rc.lua and switch to
that tag after starting it, so it might "lock itself there" (as adrian
and gregor described) as a workaround, but unfortunately, that didn't
work for me, it stays sticky / out-of-focus.
Attached is the xprop output for the behaved urxvt window. awesome
version I'm running:
awesome (awesome) v3.2-rc1 (Candyman)
• Build: Feb 8 2009 10:09:16 for i686 by gcc version 4.3.3 (wh...@hel)
• D-Bus support: ✔
thanks for the hints (and awesome itself of course!)
