Here is a nice trick to tail a file and show current changes in top of your screen using xosd. This way, only new lines will be displayed during 10 seconds, and then deprecated, so the result is not additive.

Just try it and play with some values. You have to install xosd (very small package)

Code:

tail -f /var/log/syslog | osd_cat -a 9 -d 10 -p top -A left -c red -f *-helvetica-*-r-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -O 1 -o 5 -l 15
