I still like to use ^Z to suspend a running program, even when I use

Since it would appear that that is totally unnecessary in a
window system, as Doug pointed out, one has to ask why?

To put the job in the background. I don't understand why you'd want to start a whole new window that has a new history. I hit ^Z in emacs to build or run tests... New sessions start fast enough, but shell history gets weird.

Also, there are no GUI emacs versions I like..
