A general tip that has served me well: use tmux ( http://tmux.sourceforge.net/ ). My typical environment consists of a a few vertically stacked panes. Up top is my vim session, below that is a shell. Below that is a horizontal split with runserver on the right and cake watch on the left.

I used tmux for a while and it's great. I've since switched to DVTM + dtach because they're more lightweight and simple than tmux.

I never used 80% of tmux's features, so the simpler tools are better for me. If you're a tmux power user DVTM+dtach might not work for you.
