I think it makes sense to include a fullscreen matcher.  But in the
interim you (Wang Lei) can use this:

;; New property for making a window fullscreen:
(define-match-window-setter 'fullscreen
  (lambda (w prop value)
    (declare (unused prop))
    (when value
      (window-put w 'queued-fullscreen-maximize t))))

which will create a fullscreen tag for the matcher.  It wont show up in
the customize dialog -- I never use it, so I've never figured out how to
add stuff to it.  You'd have to do something like this in your
.sawfishrc (I don't use rxvt, so I don't know the proper class string):

(add-window-matcher 'WM_CLASS "^rxvt/rxvt$"
                    '(fullscreen . t))

You may also find this useful:

;; New property to put a window on a workspace by itself.
(define-match-window-setter 'new-workspace
  (lambda (w prop value)
    (declare (unused prop))
    (when value
      (let ((space (car (workspace-limits))))
        (while (not (workspace-empty-p space))
          (setq space (1+ space)))
        (set-window-workspaces w (list space))))))

Then you can do:

(add-window-matcher 'WM_CLASS "^rxvt/rxvt$"
                    '(fullscreen . t)
                    '(new-workspace . t))

If you do use the new-workspace matcher, though, be careful assigning it
to anything that pops up multiple windows....
