What size square monitor has the same height as a 22" wide?
Answers:
I would not mix a widescreen and standard aspect ratio monitors. I have tried it and it did not work well. Normally a 22" widescreen has a resolution of 1680x1050 - this vertical resolution does not exist in the standard aspect ratio monitors (the closest is 1280x1024). As a result of this difference I had some weird behavior on my secondary monitor (standard monitor) while I was playing full screen games on the primary (widescreen).
At my previous job I had extended desktop spanning across 2 monitors of the same resolution and the transition from one monitor to the other was very easy and although they were not placed closely together, the "seam" was not a problem for me.
The closer you place the monitors next to each other, the easier it will be for you get get used to the dual monitor setup.
Another thing to consider is that 3 monitors will require 2 video cards - and it will make this type of setup more expensive and may complicate things if you do not have the ability to install two identical video cards.
Regarding physical height - a 17" standard ratio is about the same as a 22" widescreen.
Are you sure your version of Windows will drive 3 screens? XP and down won't... it may be in Vista (or it may not).
And anyway, won't what you are proposing just mean 2 sets of seams in your panoramic viewing experience?
You will be lucky to find a graphics card that will run that many monitors on that higher res, think it will cost you serious bucks for a new graphics card.
As for your question, about a 17/19 is about the equiv. height
