You can teach screen to notify you in the bottom line even if you're
running X. That's what i do. Not only because wmx makes the texts harder
to read, but because my cursor is almost always on the bottom of the
screen, so keeping the messages there seems more natural for me.

It would take a lot more space, and I'm not sure if it would get a lot
more readable. After all, English is not like chinese :-)
