I mostly use tmux when logged in as a different user either locally or remotely, so that I don't have to login multiple times. Do any of these terminal emulators support that?
How would the terminal multiplexer even affect this? Don't you just sudo or su to switch user?
Login as user A. Want to execute multiple commands. With multiplexer: open multiplexer while logged in as user A, create multiple panes. Without multiplexer: open a pane in terminal emulator, login as user A, execute one command, repeat for every command.
