I'm not 100% clear on what you're trying to avoid from GNU Screen, but my first thought when you said you wanted persistent sessions without GNU Screen was "tmux". Count mine as a third vote for tmux, if that suits your needs. Depending on your actual needs, you could also look into using the nohup command. It's not a terminal multiplexer but, in the words of the manpage, it allows you to "run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty". -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
