Did you try using a window manager that work correctly with emacs+shell
like stumpwm or rat-poison.
I am using stumpwm and i am really happy with it.
I can switch to a shell at anytime just like in emacs.
Have also a look at eev:(you may like that if you are a fan of shell)
http://angg.twu.net/eev-article.html
and try to eval from anywhere in emacs (C-x C-e) for example:
(find-sh "ps -u $USER | grep emacs | awk '{print $1}'")
Try also to use M-x ansi-term that is much better than term.
You can run many shell in emacs and more.
