I use Ubuntu Linux 11.10

Hmm, you are right: background process dies. But I'm pretty sure when I worked on IDLE bugs three weeks ago sometimes that process remained to live forever.

Aahh. 
At least sending SIGTERM (kill -9) to foreground IDLE process doesn't delete background. Also the same if foreground hangs by some error in code and should be killed from console. <Ctrl-C> doesn't help in this particular case, <Ctrl+\> (SIGQUIT) terminates foreground but background lives forever.
