As raster said, it is up to the application to name itself. In the case 
of urxvt you will have to launch urxvt with a unique name and then 
remember the name in E remember dialog. You can launch urxvt with unique 
name by passing in a parameter to the -name option:
urxvt -name 'topleft'
urxvt -name 'bottomright'
etc.
