yes, this is how apps are handled on the phone. an app that goes to background recieves SIGSTOP by the system, only system services (media-hub for example, so your music plays on if the music app is not in focus) keep running ... since the shell in which you run mirscreencast is a child of the terminal app it gets suspended alongside, this is a (security and powermanagement) feature, not a bug ...
I agree that this is an important feature and should be the default behaviour. But is there a way to manually disable this for a certain app? For instance CuteSpotify does not provide such an interface to dbus which makes it basically useless, but I would still like to use it in the background while on the go. I'd like to disable this for the Terminal app as well because performing an rsync forces me to keep the Terminal app in the foreground all the time, which basically means I cannot answer calls or write messages during the transfer.
