Just to record some thinking on this for future possibilities.
If we were using Qt I think this would be possible using a single QGraphicsScene containing the console widget, and multiple QGraphicsView's.
Gtk doesn't seem to have something like this, but used with clutter it *may* be possible using the similar sounding Stage, Viewport and Actors.
At least in Precise there's no working python/gtk/clutter bindings, so if this were get looked at at some point, it would be unlikely till after moving to Gtk3 via GIR (where clutter is also accessible through GIR.)

The thinking is to create a Stage/Scene ~1/cols * width and cols * height, and then have cols*View each showing the appropriate 1/col slice, i.e. cols =3

p2
p3
