Details

Description: When I use awesomewm's fullscreen or maximize commands while running a screen session in urxvt, it closes the session with the message: "[screen caught signal 11.]" I tried the exact same scenario with xterm and everything worked as expected. Someone suggested transparency as a possible issue; I added transparency after this error started occurring, so I'm certain it's not that.

The keybinds I have are Win+f for fullscreen and Win+m for maximize. I don't know if these keys are used for urxvt.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
awesome 3.4.8-2
rxvt-unicode 9.10-1
screen 4.0.3-10

* config and/or log files etc.
http://sprunge.us/PLGW?lua -- awesome's rc.lua
http://sprunge.us/XJNc -- ~/.Xdefaults
http://sprunge.us/PCYY -- ~/.screenrc

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run urxvt in awesome, and at least one other window. Doesn't matter what it is.
2. Run screen in urxvt.
3. Make the urxvt window fullscreen or maximized through your preferred choice.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  This seems to be hold, and the failure is produced on a non-supported application (awesomewm)

I found a possible solution while looking through Xdefaults. If you use urxvt with awesome and screen, don't include *URxvt.geometry. When I removed it from the file, it seemed to fix the problem. I'm not sure if this is the only cause, so the task will stay open until a dev or TU can confirm.

I don't think that was the only cause. I was able to copy your .Xdefaults and .screenrc and run screen in urxvt and fullscreen with no issues using:
rxvt-unicode 9.10-1
screen 4.0.3-10
awesome 3.4.8-2

Please provide meaningful backtraces for segfaults. "segfault" is not a description for a problem.

AwesomeWM isn't supported anymore, so I think if a part of the equation of three things (rxvt-unicode + screen + awesome) is not supported, we can't work on this. If the problem happens on other wm we can re-open this.

screen is still in our repos, rxvt-unicode too, so is this an AWesomeWM rpoblem or not?

Possibly a bug in Awesome which is unsupported. Candidate for closing.
