Opening vim in new xterm+screen window in same session

Hi

I typically have a single screen session to which I connect using screen
-x. Whenever I want to edit a file with vim, I'd like to:

1. Open a new xterm.
2. Connect to the screen session.
3. Create a new screen window and start vim in it.

Ideally I'd like the following command to work (from within a screen
session):

xterm -e screen vim foo.cc

However, it partially works, the new xterm is created and has the STY
variable. Thus screen opens a new window in that same session and starts
vim. However, the new xterm window doesn't connect to that session. Any
thoughts on why this happens? I'm using screen version 4.02.

Thanks,

Dhyanesh
