Sorry I should have told you how to do it even though I've never done it.

To background an app add an '&' after the program name on the command line.
(this won't help you in the gui world where you need to select items from
the interface)

To background a currently running process, open a terminal and type bg #
where number is the process id. It should work on juk, but YMMV.

To prevent a program from ending when you log out launch the app via the nohup
utility.
ex: 'nohup juk'
