  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.
