I use PWM as my window manager, which is very minimalist but allows me to tab
xterms together and cycle through them with Ctrl-Shift-[number].

screen is very similar but is text based - it's the solution when you want to
run ten text based programs remotely but don't want to ssh in ten times to get
ten ttys :)

There's not much point using it in X because xterms are sort of the same idea.
