Speaking of the scheduler documentation - note that its sample shell
code contains exactly the problem showing what's wrong with
auto-grouping-by-tty, which is:

# firefox& # Launch firefox and move it to "browser" group

As soon as you do that from the same terminal that you're going to
launch the "make" from, you're back to total lossage. Are you going
to explain to a student that "oh, you need to create a new
gnome-terminal tab and launch firefox from that"?

Btw, most people don't do that anymore. They don't use terminals. They click the application icons on their desktops and start menus or double click the executables in their file managers. So it's not a matter of opening a second terminal tab, because the first one isn't even open.

To have a fluid desktop one shouldn't require to hack with terminal commands.
