xtermcontrol
xtermcontrol enables dynamic control of XFree86 xterm properties. It makes it easy to change colors, titles, fonts, and the geometry of a running xterm, as well as to report the current settings of the properties. Window manipulations such as (de)iconify, raise and lower, maximize and restore, and reset are also supported. It also lets advanced users issue any xterm control sequence.

Release Notes: This release marks a major version bump because the strategy of when a configuration file is read has changed. Now xtermcontrol only reads the ~/.xtermcontrol file if run without options, or if specifically requested by the --file option. This release also prevents the terminal from becoming unresponsive when attempting to report the current setting of a unsupported or disallowed property.

See also xtctl (freshmeat.net/projects...), which is a simple Bourne shell script that does this plus a whole lot more.
