I am not completely sure what outcome you are after here:
a) A graphical tool that will tell you which specific processes are running.
b) A way to graphically determine which terminal a specific process is running in.

If it is b) then I have traditionally solved that problem with a simple script
called title http://www.dd.id.au/scripts/title

Use it like this:

ps -ef | fgrep 'whatever'

* cut the controlling terminal from the listing

title "    Here it IS idiot !!!  "  > /dev/{paste controlling terminal}


This then changes the title of the terminal window so I can find it in the window list.

Because I often use it to find what window I was editing a file in with vim.  I also
wrote a small script that would use ps and awk to label all the terminals of all the
vim instances with their vim command line.  I will try to find that tonight.

Dave !
