Personally, I am very happy with Konsole run full-screen for juggling
sessions. The tab bar with *names* is a nice way to keep track of what
you have going, and I get 197x71 with the only "frills" being the menu
bar (which I could get rid of if I wasn't worried about finding it
again), a very useful scroll bar, and the aforementioned session tab
bar. Of course, it doesn't let me "detach" remote sessions, but I can
live with that if I can see my sessions at a glance and don't have to
learn the keys for 'screen' :-).
