It's a big enough job, Marc Mulcahy and I looked at it once before.

XTerm is not a great candidate since in order to be accessible a UI
component must at the very minimum inherit from GObject, and I don't see
that dependency being allowed in XTerm proper.  Or do you mean that the
existing gnome-terminal could use xterm library code for terminal
emulation and paint the result into a GtkWidget rather than using
libzvt?  (At this point my knowledge of the architecture of
gnome-terminal, as opposed to libzvt, is stale and sketchy).
