I once wrote a program that launched an xterm and then
started ncurses in it.  It used newterm.

The whole process is a bit complicated. I had to 
create a pty with openpty(), find that pty's stdio and stdin, launch
an xterm that uses that pty, and then run newterm on that
xterm.

You can see some of that code in this program

Hope this helps,

Mike Gran
