Use screen, like everyone else.  You'll never have
to open more than one xterm again *and* you'll be
able to have multiple virtual terminals even when
using a serial console (or otherwise not have X
running) on a system that doesn't support multiple
vty's as Linux does.

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/screen

It might be on http://www.sunfreeeware.com/ as well.

P.S.  Multiple vty support on Linux is part of the kernel's 
terminal driver.  It's not distribution-specific.  You get
the same functionality on RedHat as you do Slackware, Debian,
et al.
