This is an odd buglet. Here's exactly what happens:
Start netscape as a foreground process While the focus is in the window netscape was started from, hit Ctrl-Z -- Nothing will appear to happen
Change the input focus to the Netscape window -- 'Suspended' will appear in the xterm/rxvt (from the previous Ctrl-Z)
Now fg/bg/etc. commands will work.
Not necessarily even annoying, but kind of odd. I haven't bothered to track down why it happens.
