[xmonad] urxvt slow rendering

[Rasmus Edgar]

Hi Richard,

I experienced something similar with urxvt and xmonad on Archlinux:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=222896

Found out that it was related to how I had defined PROMPT_COMMAND, the 
strange thing was, the problem was only present i XMonad.

Br,
Rasmus
