I'll check out the "T" screen.  It's probably just a bug in the
rendering code, which is, well, buggy.

As for the 1-line displays, there shouldn't be any problem
supporting them in the server, except that menus would be
difficult to display.

To truly support multiple display sizes, we'll need a geometry
management system similar to the one in tcl/tk.  It should be
possible to, say, attach a string to the right edge of the
screen, and use a bargraph which takes up 40% of the screen
width.  (without having to worry about the actual screen size...)
