  1. That's a neat feature. I usually start GUI programs with & from the terminal so they don't disappear if I exit the terminal. If I forget I usually focus the terminal, hit ctrl+z then bg 1 and I can keep using the terminal or close it. This sounds potentially a lot easier and more useful.

  2. I usually banish the music player to the last workspace. Might be another useful tip for you, you can start GUI programs with & at the end of the command to background them, and if you forget, focus the terminal, type ctrl+z then bg N where N is the number the terminal reports for that process and the terminal is useful again or you can close it. Although, I use bash, where bg is a builtin.

  3. You might want to edit that to say you have to add that to the end of the command when starting it. Once it's started that won't work. Instead you'd need ctrl+z then bg.

  4. You should really be using a debugger.

  5.  @denizkendirci  It would send thunar to the background as a sudo process.

  6.  @denizkendirci  If you're using bash, it prints a number when you press ctrl+z, generally you'll see [1] and that's what you pass to bg.
