I thought that in the window title bar, it will tell you something
useful about the present emerge command?

I switched from kde a little while ago, and now I mostly use frameless
terminals in xfce (it ends up looking something like xmonad).

I am pretty sure I used to have this in konsole, whether it was
default or I had to tweak some settings to get it, I dunno.  And if
konsole can't do it, something can.

(I'm not answering your exact question, I know, but if it's just an
issue to know your status on an emerge process generally, like which
package you are on and what number package it is out of the full
emerge list running, the title bar can show you that.)
