We already have a redesigned Settings panel for external displays in F20. We'd probably
need to get more into specifics here (how many monitors, whether they're completely
static, where the main monitor is, and whether the problem is usage after the desktop
is setup, or really problems in setting up a specific layout).

Your advice of an extension is probably best in the short term. There are a
number of them, including tiling ones that are probably the sort of thing people
running loads of terminals would use.

That's probably something that needs more detailed bug reports as well. The answer
would be quite different if the problem was loads of applications, loads of
applications in terminals, or just loads of terminals, for example. And the solutions
might not all be directly in gnome-shell changes either.
