Are you using konsole ? As walter said, emerge sets the title of the
shell/terminal window to include the current package, however konsole
does not (by default) show the titles set by programs, but is configured
to only show the working dir and command name...
Just go to Settings -> Edit current profile -> Tabs (tab ;) and
you will see two things: Tab title format and Remote tab title format
(the defautl for the first is '%d: %n' == 'current dir: current
command', which is exactly what you wrote), just change them to '%w' and
you will get what every other decent terminal app shows ;) (you can
click the "Insert" dropdown to see other options)
