Could you write a smaller helper program that you exec from $SHELL within an xterm whose soul purpose in life is to dissasociate from the terminal and sleep?

It might notice the dissassociate too, but of that I'm less certain. :) -- In time of war, the laws are silent. -- Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, William Rehnquist
