I use xterm under ICEWM (a simple WM). The title bar at the top of the
xterm lists how far in the list you are, and the current ebuild...
emerge:(1 of 2) www-client/midori-0.4.3 Compile
see attached top few lines of a screen shot. Note that even if you
minimize the xterm, you can still see the info by doing either of...
* holding down {ALT-TAB} to bring up the programs menu
* hovering the mouse pointer over the location on the program bar list
of running programs.
