You could try fvwm and a recent emacs24 with gnus and tmux (or screen)
in rxvt. You might be much happier with a tiling window manager like i3
(they have a nice video on youtube) rather than fvwm, though.

Xscreensaver is fine. You can have two different displays for X sessions
(one on each monitor) rather than having one display that goes across
both monitors. I haven't tried to have one X display on one monitor and
the console on the other --- that should be somehow possible ...
