Feature request - a method for implementing recent feature requests.

This isn't so much of a feature request as it is a method for implementing a 
number of 
feature requests I and a number of other users haves made.  The general layout 
of Kirikae 
would stay the some but 3 additions/changes would be made.

First, a check box would be added beside each app in th Active tab of Kirikae. 
 When check 
it would indicate the app is running, when unchecked it would indicate the app 
isn't running.  
This would be a simple way of starting and stopping apps.

Second, as an additional element of the check boxes, the Active tab would also 
contain 
recent apps.  These apps would show up in the other apps field, below running 
apps.  When 
an app is closed (unchecked) it would go below the running apps but, as it 
would be the 
most recently closed app, would be on top of the list of recent apps.  This 
list of recent apps 
and running but not active apps would limit itself to 6 (or a figure defined by 
the user) unless 
there are more running apps then 6. EG. 1 active app. 4 running but not active 
apps and 2 
recent apps. OR 1 active app and 8 running but not active apps and 0 recent 
apps. This 
keeps the list manageable and gets around a problem I don't want to go into.

The third feature is a method of controlling whether an app backgrounds by 
default or not.  
This would involve the addition of a tab in the corner of each apps field when 
running in the 
Active tab. This tab would appear much like a folded page corner in a book. 
 The presence 
of the tab on an app would indicate it will background by default. To change 
this property a 
user would swipe along an app, in the same way now used to reveal the app close 
button. 
This gesture would reveal an off on switch which would switch default 
backgrounding on and 
off.

I've uploaded a sketch of my thoughts to my flickr account and attached a link 
(I'm on my 
iPhone and can't upload to this post).
