epic also supports what it calls screens -- completely separate display
areas (devices?) that share a a backend process in common. It either
works by using multiple windows in X or multiple windows in screen (GNU
screen, that is). The latter functionality seems to be the sort of thing
that the original poster was interested in. See
http://www.prbh.org/help/index.php?q=4_Misc/window/create
for more info.
That page also seems to imply that the buggy behavior I recall has since
been fixed.

Of course this is a matter of taste, but I'm right.
