I'm trying to tighten up my org configuration for the new year.

I currently use a single file Work.org for tracking work, notes, and time
an a per-ticket basis
EG
* PPTDEV-511 Documentation
 :511:
** WORK investigate & document plog problem 1/3/14
   CLOCK: [2014-01-06 Mon 09:11]--[2014-01-06 Mon 09:12] =>  0:01
   CLOCK: [2014-01-03 Fri 13:59]--[2014-01-03 Fri 14:35] =>  0:36
   :PROPERTIES:
   :Effort:   1
   :END:
* JWRK PPTDEV-455 Add 'hve' to all Appropriate Library calls in
web_src/hve/scripts :455:
** WORK <2013-12-04 Wed> code review, developer testing, prepare for install
   CLOCK: [2013-12-04 Wed 14:00]--[2013-12-04 Wed 15:00] =>  1:00
** DONE <2013-12-02 Mon> search archive for appropriate lib calls & add have
   CLOCK: [2013-12-04 Wed 13:10]--[2013-12-04 Wed 14:00] =>  0:50
   CLOCK: [2013-12-03 Tue 09:15]--[2013-12-03 Tue 09:25] =>  0:10
   CLOCK: [2013-12-02 Mon 15:29]--[2013-12-02 Mon 16:05] =>  0:36

I have columns set up
#+COLUMNS: %58ITEM(Details) %TAGS(Context) %5TODO(ToDo) %6CLOCKSUM(Tot)
%6CLOCKSUM_T(Today) %10Effort(Est){:}

for the file.
When I run my daily agenda, I can get to column mode and see my various
effort times.  However,
I lose all my structure that tells me what headlines belong in which
subtrees. My column %TAGS shows empty for all but top-level tasks as the
tags are inherited, not explicitly set.

Is there a setting I should be using to make inherited tags appear here? I
haven't been able to find one.  Or, even better, a way to make the effort
estimates show up in the agenda clock table just like the time summaries?
Or even just a way to add an overlay either to the main file or the agenda
to show them?

Second, my currently clocking task info appears in the window titles with I
am in terminal mode, but not when I have a graphic window -
using gnome terminal and Ubuntu
emacs 23
Org 8

Thanks!
