So with app_to_run you get to specify a process to run at startup; you could probably instead of having it run xterm, you could have it run source...
app_to_run "source .bash_profile" or "source .bashrc" or something like that. Then I guess you would put your xterm startup within the bash_profile or bashrc file.

Instead you should make a corresponding change in your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.x11.plist file (or possibly a different similarly named file depending on which version of OSX and which version of X11). To get what you want I would type the following at a command line prompt:
