Though it may not be conducive to your sense of order, Vinnie [=^J, I'm
quite fond of using 'screen' to expand the number of terminal sessions I
have in use, though I've yet to have 40 (in any combination of terminal
and screen sessions) open at once! I prefer fewer actual windows open
(or no windows but fewer Alt+F# terminals), yet each one has several
screen sessions running (^A+N|P to scroll through screens is easier to
type than Alt+F#).
