Openbox and urxvt(solved)

Question

I have two questions.First,how can i start urxvt when openbox starts.If i put urxvt in autostart.sh,it starts at up left corner,and i can't type anything,i must kill it.When i start urxvt normaly, it starts at down left corner because of rc.xml setings:
<application name="urxvt">
<decor>no</decor>
<focus>yes</focus>
<position>
<x>20</x>
<y>-20</y>
</position>
<layer>below</layer>
<desktop>all</desktop>
<skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
</application>
Second,is there any way to give the urxvt focus with keyboard in openbox,maybe using xbinkeys?

For the lower left corner, you can use the --geometry option of urxvt, so it would read something to the effect of
(blah whatever && urxvt -geometry +20-20) &
Isn't it geometry of window size,not geometry, where placed window?
The geometry of a window is BOTH size and position in the following format widthxheight+x+y.
Now plus values for x and y would start in the upper left, negative values would make it lower right if you do both, etc....
Now, if you look at my example above:
urxvt -geometry +20-20
You have urxvt being placed at positive x value and negative y value WITHOUT height and width.
Because it has the plus and minus attributes, the geometry value is positional only!  If you forget the plus or the minus, then yes, it would be taken as size or something.   If you don't believe me, then try it, ZaQ.
Yes,it works,but if i put it in autostart.sh just like that,after starting, urxvt  just stop working,and i must kill it. Maybe it happens because i have many things in autostart.sh.
