Also, amongst other things, >=tmux-1.3 has mouse support.
You can scroll using your mouse in copy mode and use your mouse to select one
of the splitted panes of your active window.
You can also break/join panes in and out the active window and it has awesome
predefined layouts.
I'll add that tmux has a readable and even understandable man page and the
dev(s) is really reactive on the ml/irc.
ps : in case anyone needs a customized tmux.conf, here's mine
