this has nothing to do with wayland... it's a matter for your desktop
environment or daemons below that in the stack to have such policies. if by
freeze you mean SIGSTOP then you're likely in for trouble too as many apps will
need to do little things in the background - like an email client poll for
email. an irc client simply read its tcp connection for irc messages. without
doing this eventually buffers will fill and connections and thus messages get
lost. but again - not a wayland matter.
