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. Both of these simply duplicate what shows up on the title bar. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
