ok :
I just run powertop in urxvt and in the report of powertop, urxvt is
always first (20% of the wake up).

In order to compare I run powertop in lxterminal and lxterminal doesn't
appear at all.

That's what I observe.

But you solve the problem. With URxvt*cursorBlink:	    False
urxvt doesn't appear anymore.
