While I was able to use QWidget.createWindowContainer to embed the external xterm window I was unable to make it resize into the QWidget. It always had a fixed size and was not reacting to geometry changes of the container.

Any plan for get xterm to work with qt5? I'd settle for a non-resizing widget any time over the simple shell.
