I don't want to write my own applications. With aalib/GGI I can just
start any graphical application (Netscape, Star Office, enlightenment,
KDE, Gnome, whatever) in "ASCII mode" without any modifications.

As I said, resolution is pretty low for real graphical
applications. But with 132x50 (quite a "standard" text mode), you
might be able to recognize something ;-) If you don't sit close to
your screen, the resolution is sufficient to watch tv in ascii (aatv
sure is a nice thing).

If you're looking for something like a console window manager in
ASCII, then have a look at twin. It's user interface looks like
TurboC, dBase & Co mentioned above: http://freshmeat.net/projects/twin/
