According to what I have read, resizeterm does not resize an xterm.
resizeterm changes the ncurses terminal size and windows (inside the
xterm) to fit the stated dimentions. It seems to be meant to make
writing SIGWINCH handlers easier.

Take a look at /usr/share/doc/libncurses5-dev/html/ncurses-intro.html
