Inside screen I have different shells and in all of them I run emacsclient, so all of them are connecting to the same Emacs server but each of them have different windows configurations. Works very well for me: at work I can even open another terminal (I have two monitors), connect to Byobu, and have both of them sharing the same Emacs (so I can see Gnus in one of them and something else in the other one at the same time). Then when I get home I have exactly the same environment. If you don't need X, this works great! (I tried the register approach at some point, but compared to this it was awful, IMO).
