	I believe that it would be very simple to add a little functionality
	to xterm that would allow [passing a window id to xterm to use].

This has been on my list of things to do the MIT xterm for a while (various
X10 xterm's had this for quite a while), but I'm still working out the
effects of window size changes (e.g. whether or not you should be able to
turn the scrollbar on or switch between 80 and 132 columns) and whether or
not anything special would be needed for Tek mode.  The code is pretty
trivial, but some of the thinking isn't.

I won't promise that it'll be in our next release (as usual :-), but we're
sympathetic....
