That's actually nowhere near as obviously true as you might think, and depends
*heavily* on what the definition and exact semantics of "background" is. Do
you mean 'process &' type of background, or "user ctl-Z'ed the process" background,
or "screensaver has kicked in" background?  Those all have very different
semantics....
