(setq mode-line-format nil)

and then make the second window display an indirect buffer to the buffer
displayed in the first window, so you can change the major mode, then
enable follow-mode so that scrolling one scrolls the other. Untested :-)

I think that only happens if you have one or more of the various
*pixelwise* variables non-nil; the default is to do everything in
multiples of line-height.
