Hi Jacobo,

Applications are not stopped or resumed by the homescreen. They are run
and the home screen communicates with the windowmanager to ensure that
their windows are displayed on top of others.

At the very first times there was pause/resume facility corresponding
to the SIGSTOP / SIGCONT pair. It has been removed. There was also the
ability to start more that one instance of application. This also was
removed.

I think that your problem is more linked to raising up the windows of
the already activated applications. If your problem is to terminate an
application, the correct verb is 'terminate'.

Best regards
José Bollo
