Presumably this isn't being launched from a shell but from a window
application or window manager.  Is that right?  Also, you haven't
specified what you're trying to do.  Why do you want the sleep there?
If it was launched through a shell, it would run screen then upon exit
or disconnect from screen it would sleep ten seconds before closing
the xterm.  Since I can't see why you would want to do this, I'm
guessing you want to do something else.

: So how to launch a screen into an xterm?

xterm -e screen
