As I have said repeatedly, any xterm will read your ~/XTerm file
when it starts, and it is a subset of the ~/.Xresources file with
entries specific to xterms.
Try this, then stop and start X11 with the default xterm.
grep -i xterm ~/.Xresources > ~/XTerm

Yuck! Making more resource files just leads to fractured settings, and
ultimately leads to confusion as you can't remember where you set
what. And double yuck that ~/XTerm isn't hidden, so every time I do a
home directory listing, I have to see that file as a glaring and ugly
workaround to this problem.
If you need to sidestep this problem, I like the Martin's suggestion:
tell org.x.X11_launcher to run xlsclients, and move the xterm into
your .xinitrc.
