Yeh, that works, but it might use a lot of resources.
xterm -e bash --rcfile file
Where file is just a file in your $HOME with a command in it. Doesn't even
have to be an executable file.
I run screen in a xterm. Very nice, and the windows use a lot less resources
than xterms and it is a complete window manager (text mode) that's better
than any graphical one I've seen. Will send you a little tutorial and a
.screenrc I put together, if you like.
