You may find the openvt command (at least on debian) is your friend, but
you'll have to hack around a bit to make it work (hint sudo "openvt -u
could be useful"). Alternatively use the ION windowmanager. You can
have full screen windows and flick between them with keypresses, and
also have more control over fonts etc.
