Hmmm... This could be a very not nice thing.  Imagine: You have your editor
backgrounded, and have been editing some source code that you haven't saved
yet, and the compile is not going right. How to fix? Fire up Proterm and
drop Jawaid a line, plus download the MONGO huge file that you didn't have
time for yesterday.  Result? BOOM Source code gone!  Or, even better once
1.1 is finished, you have a terminal hanging off your GS that you are doing
something (ANYTHING!) fairly important on, and you fire up Pterm on console:
Same result.  However, if this command could check for stopped jobs, or jobs
that are running in the background, and terminate with a "There are background
jobs running... Please kill them and try again", then it would be decent.
