I fully understand and the conept is correct. But, I think it must be
possible to make intentional exeptions. For example, I run a terminal
application to write something, for example mutt+vim, and have to check
something with the browser, or a call comes in. I would like to have the
mutt+vim session unstopped. They are even on hold while I'm not typing
in more chars. Should I file a CR in launchpad?
