Konsole has monitor for activity

I don't know what version of Konsole was current when this was posted (probably KDE 3.x), but as of KDE 4 (at least), Konsole has the options to monitor for silence or activity under the View menu. These features may also be present in earlier versions, I don't know and I don't have any convenient way to check.
Of course, you could always put a small script in ~/bin or something named "make" consisting of "/usr/bin/make $@; beep" or some such. ;)
