And why is it annoying you? Setting the urgency hint itself has no
consequences whatsoever, so it's hard to imagine why that would annoy you.

That's what you configured and should happen, no? You haven't mentioned why
it is annoying, though.

No, if you search the list archives, you can find previous discussions
about it - setting the urgency hint is correct in this case, and whatever
is annoying you is not urxvt, but something else (such as your window
manager behaviour). Without knowing what annoys you it's hard to tell, of
course, but if it is indeed your wm or some other software that annoys
you, you should report this to the respective software so they cna fix
their annoying behaviour.
