I work with Tim and wrote up a blog post summarizing our experience:
http://technomancy.us/129

Basically there are some things that are easier using Screen (viewing
diffs, slime sessions, when you need all the windows shared at once),
but most things are better shared on a per-document basis with Rudel.

It's also very helpful to have a VOIP connection since communication is
key, and using IM for that kind of thing is distracting; your hands
should be able to focus on code alone. You also need to be careful not
to just run off and "do your own thing" while you're pairing; having one
person go check the docs for an API you're using is one thing, but you
can get off on a side-track and forget to check back in.

You can use Rudel with the Gobby editor too, but it's not that great and
definitely doesn't have any Clojure support. But the protocol is
well-documented; maybe a resourceful Vim fan could take a stab at an
implementation. =)
