I don't know what "real" windowing systems you have used, but under my 
windowing system I have three main windows which are non-overlapped and 
are of the following sizes:  96 cols/72 rows, 80/32, and 80/44.  Each of these
are using a 9x15 font which is very readable on my 19" monitor.

I even have room left over for my mailer flag, system load average, clock, and
icons of other windows that I use less frequently.
