Give awesome a go. It is easy to install on Ubuntu, and can be
selected at the log in screen. I am sure it will be just as simple in
Debian.
I don't have lots of terminals open but it should work as you expect.
The config is done in Lua, which I have found easier to understand
than the Haskel config of Xmonad.
QTile would be great, but did not seem as stable as Awesome.
If you do decide to give Awesome a go, be prepared to give it a fair
crack. It is quite different to Gnome, and there are a number of
keyboard short-cuts that will need to be learnt to be useful.
