Thanks for the hint. I'm already using something similar: a separate shortcut for spawning `exec urxvtc -name whatever' and a floating rule for /^URxvt:fterm:/. However, I still resize terminals in tiling mode quite often; e.g. while reading man pages terminals with more than 80 columns just waste space.
