I think the trick is to keep one VT for a specific purpose, 
so you know what's what, and where to find things easily.

Eg:

My email Konsole and Firefox is on VT1

Bugzilla's and tmda stuff on VT2

Web development code is on VT3

Phing stuff is on VT4

Browsers for web development are on VT5

VT6-7 are usually spare

Smart Package manager is on VT8

K3b and Kdiff3 for making CD/DVD system backups are on VT9

Apache, PHP, MySQL Manuals are all together on VT10

SysAdmin stuff is on VT11-12

VT13-VT18 are just for general stuff I might be doing at the 
moment. Generally web browsing or testing out something or 
whatever.
