[dwm] can not close irssi window when opened in a xterm class

Question

Hello guys,
I know the subject title is not really meaningful but the problem is a bit odd.
When I start irssi in a opened xterm window I can easily close it via modkey-shift-c. To open it directly in a specific tag I created a new class for irssi and defined in config.h how to deal with that class.
the script called "irc"
#!/bin/bash
xterm -class irc -e irssi &
and the relevant part of config.h
static const Rule rules[] = {
/* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
{ "irc", NULL, NULL, 1 << 1, False, -1 },
When I then try to close the window with modkey-shift-c I just get the message "Irssi: Reloaded configuration".
I don't really know why this happens. I defnied also a seperate class for alsamixer and closing this is working without any problem.
What could I try to solve that?
Best regards.

Answer 1

What key do you have assigned as modkey in dwm?
It seems that modkey+shift+c is issuing the /RELOAD command in irssi rather than closing the window.  The modkey is superceded by whatever appilcation is running in the terminal. 
I run irssi in xterm and modkey+shift+c closes it without issue.
