When you suspend it, it should become an icon. To start using it again,
double-click the icon.

Click the down arrow on the titlebar; it becomes an icon and then to
start it again, double click the icon. Note the the program doesn't
_stop_ running, but just waits around for you to un-iconize it.

Pretty much, unless the application has it's own X support. For example,
to run a compile, I start and Xterm (rxvt, actually) and run it within
the window. To run pine, I start an Xterm and run pine in the window.
To run netscape, I can either open a window and type "netscape &"
or select "netscape" from my window menu. This requires that you have set
up the menu right, of course :)
