rxvt-unicode does select the StructureNotify on it's own "top" window.
Should this be done on the embedder's window (the parent of rxvt-unicode
window) as well?

Also, embedding in rxvt-unicode is done so that urxvt creates it's top
window directly as a child of the embedder's window, so no reparenting
takes place. Not sure if this make any difference.
