You might take a look at GNU Screen - it's not a terminal emulator, but it runs inside your terminals. It has a "fit" feature that with the simple <ctrl>+a F keystroke combination, it will resize to whatever bounds you have set. It might give you the behavior you're looking for. Plus it has the added benefit of being able to detach from the session so you can have the same set of screens wherever you log in, horizontally and vertically split the screens. It's quite robust, and has a fairly easy learning curve. Good luck! -Wayne
