But you wouldn't know which client object to modify. "Solutions" like
this and the "change a global variable" are prone to race conditions if
another window opens between executing the spawn command and the window
finally appearing.
The easiest and most stable way would be to pass a class name to xterm
with the -name option and, if you want to keep everything in the same
file, simply registering a manage hook which checks for the specific
class and handles the window.
