Egon Geerardyn proposed the following answer:
@Axel:

He doesn't mean the terminals, but the ability to get multiple desktops.
Just consider it as the X equivalent of the terminal application
'screen'. The principle is simple: one uses one physical screen, but on
that screen, you can have any number of desktops, spaces where you can
put windows to get them out of the way. A bit like having multiple
screens (more desktop real estate) on the same machine, without the need
for more physical screens.

A demo of this feature (albeit a very elaborate size of desktop, and
used with Compiz (which isn't a requisite but offers nifty features like
in  this presentation)) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXF-zlcei20
