Start by obtaining the process id (PID) and parent process id (PPID) for each xterm that is running, crosscheck the PPID against your applications process ids (PIDs). If you find a match your application has started (forked) the xterm so you can terminate it with SIGKILL (kill -9 PID of xterm
.
You should also be able to find out the DISPLAY that the xterm is running against and start your own X program to warn of illegal use etc
Why not restrict permissions for xterm (etc) and use SUDO to control access to it?
