I usually do the trick already mentioned of giving it an identifying
title or name, and looking for that.

However, since it's xterm, you can do something like
 xterm -e 'echo $WINDOWID >/tmp/myxtermwid ; exec bash'
(You could also get fancy with named pipes, but then the error
handling is a bit harder.)
