I use aterm's in X Window, and I was able to see the "emerging 3 of ..." message in the title bar while emerging as root. However, this behavior stopped after performing a system update. I believe the feature stopped working because I emerged aterm with the USE="cjk" (Japanese character support) flag in my USE flags. This made aterm begin to report itself as a "kterm" (kanji term). Adding "export TERM=xterm" to my /etc/profile fixed the problem, but it would be nice if the feature didn't depend on terms reporting themselves as xterms. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use a term with TERM=kterm 2.Notice no change in title bar when emerging 3.Set TERM=xterm Actual Results: Emerging # of ## messages begin to appear. Expected Results: Automatically show "Emerging # of ## " messages. I run emerge inside of su, so the title bar usually says "su" before it changes over to "Emerging # of ##" (if it does at all).
