gnu-screen tmux tiling-wm xmonad terminal-multiplexer

                          Both terminal multiplexers (screen, tmux) and keyboard-driven tiling window managers (ratpoison, dwm, xmonad) provide similar functionality. Is there any benefit in using both at the same time? What about problems that may arise?
