rxvt-unicode sets the UrgencyHint even when it has the focus. I think
this is wrong for several reasons, e.g.:
- annoyance: when using urgentOnBell the urgency hint is set every now;
- compliance to the de facto standard: other terminals, like xterm, does
not set the urgency hint when focused;
- common sense: there's no need to set the urgency hint if the focus is
already there;
- standard compliance: I can't assure that EWMH/ICCCM recommends not to
set the urgency hint when focused, but I'm sure they do *not* recommend
to do so;
- how is the user supposed to cancel the urgency hint? By clicking on
the window? Not good, we don't want to force the user to move the
fingers away from the keyboard. By unfocusing and then focusing the
terminal again? Even worse.
A patch that prevents the urgency hint to be set when rxvt-unicode has
the focus is included in many popular distributions, like Debian and
Ubuntu and derivatives. The patch is trivial, see
http://patch-tracking.debian.net/patch/misc/view/rxvt-unicode/9.06-1/src/screen.C
and I think should be included in the mainstream source code.
