No-one has mentioned this solution yet, so for completeness I'll throw 
it in:
XResQueryClientIds can be used to query the real pid of window. Unlike 
`_NET_WM_PID`, it can't be faked or modified.
You can get the pid of your xterm when you start it (ie: using $?), then 
find the window(s) that match it.

Cheers,
Antoine
