This is one place where those quake-like terminals comes in handy. I |
| 6 |
use tilda, for KDE there's yakuake. Basically they allow you to press |
| 7 |
a single key and a terminal pops down from the top of the screen. I |
| 8 |
usually have one of those running all the time: I have a tab or two |
| 9 |
devote to emerges, another tab handling an SSH -X session to some |
| 10 |
other computer, and maybe a tab or two devoted to some command line |
| 11 |
tasks. Press a single key and it all goes out of sight. |

You'll probably want to run the compile in one screen session, then |
| 14 |
tail -f the emerge log in one of the tabs. |
