With gutsy and fr oss keyboard, the problem exist !
If you use a classic xterm, ctrl+Z send current process to the background, and fg recall it "on front".
If you use ctrl+Z with gnome-terminal, it doesn't work. You may use ctrl+W as workaround, as if gnome-terminal was using us QWERTY layout !
"fr oss" is AZERTY, so A and Q are inverted compoaring to us QWERTY, W and Z are inverted too.

I imagine gnome-terminal is using key codes instead of corresponding characters... So if the layout is not like us QWERTY, you get some side effects.
 - crtl+Z doesn' work
 - when using GNU nano, hitting ctrl+W to search with a regexp has the effect of crtl+Z, sending nano to the background. You must use Ctrl+Z to use the "search" function.
