Hmm, I've been essentially doing this same thing with elscreen.  I
fire up emacs, and start elscreen, which is to emacs what gnu screen
is to xterm.

I have one tab for each of: gnus, planner, erc, and eshell.  For the
most part, the related buffers never stray, and C-x b "Does the right
thing" in each tab.  But, since everything is running in the same
session, remember is always there :)
