As long as bash is started in a terminal: yes.
I also tested with "set -m" and "vim" in my .bashrc file. Everything
worked as I expected it to. I launched a terminal (urxvt), and it opened
with vim running. I was able to Ctrl-Z it. It looks like this:
[1]+ Stopped vim
unicorn:~$ jobs
[1]+ Stopped vim
unicorn:~$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
2100754 pts/30 00:00:00 bash
2100756 pts/30 00:00:00 vim
2100757 pts/30 00:00:00 ps
unicorn:~$
I could also "fg" it, and exiting from vim put me into an interactive
bash shell. Absolutely no surprises at all.
