You should see it, or perhaps your PC is too fast.

But prior to the rxvt windows, another windows opens that gets closed
immediatly. That's a console-window like the ones you see, when you run
cmd.exe

So the console-hiding code is the code, that causes, that the
console-window disappears and that inly the rxvt-window remains.
