It is supposed to work. That said I don't use X myself, so haven't
explicitly tested this.

Using xterm does require that the x server is already running before
xterm is invoked.

What happens if you run the following command from a cmd prompt:

xterm -e /bin/bash -l

If you don't want to run an xserver, try rxvt instead:

chere -iam2 -s bash -t rxvt
