You could try putting something like this in your .Xdefaults:
xterm*font: 10x20
Every xterm opened will then use that font. That is how I have set my
fonts, but I don't switch them around or anything, so it may not work
so well for you.

Perhaps you would like idesk. It used to be very good, with support for
translucent icons and so on. Haven't used it lately though, so it may
not be so nice these days.
