       rxvt,  version  2.6.1, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator
       intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who  do  not
       require  features  such  as  Tektronix  4014 emulation and
       toolkit-style configurability.  As  a  result,  rxvt  uses
       much  less  swap  space  --  a  significant advantage on a
       machine serving many X sessions.

I don't know about this (but I am interested).

You may want to use a small window manager like blackbox.
