We all make our own choices. :-)

I normally have a gvim window open with an open tab for each of the 
header files I need;

I have another gvim window open with an open tab for each of the source 
files I need;

sometimes I use another gvim window (rather than tab) so that I can edit 
one source module while being able to see the others.

I usually have a bash window open, with tabs for each of the man files 
to which I want to refer, and at least one tab for compiling and executing;

and I frequently have a PostScript viewer window open so I can refer to 
the C spec whenever a man page seems inadequate to answer a question.

I chose hardware that lets me work with eight non-overlapping windows 
each displaying 106 80-character lines of text. Yes, old habits die hard 
- but this lash-up works pretty well for me. :-)
