[edit] If you use .wsuterm, MAKE SURE its title is not a substring of the other's title!
Its main limitation is that once you alt-tab away from it, when you switch back, it doesn't know it's not focused. I used xprop to try to rectify this, but it seems at this time there's no good workaround (unless one were to actually write an app, not a shell script, which wouldn't be such a good idea in this case).
Oh yes: please let me know if you have suggestions, etc. for further "releases". Is it useful to you in your day-to-day work?

[edit] Made slight change.
