Ksh job control question

I am using a very recent version of ksh-i, BSD compiled.  Currently I
am under the disadvantage of exec-ing it from a .login shell as I log in.
This seems to work with only 1 strange occurance.  Within my ksh .profile
I start up uwm, xterm, xclock and xrload in the background (ala &) and
find that when I get to the prompt, I cannot see the job names for these
processes - I just see the job numbers.

This is a X10 implementation of the above programs.

Anyone know why ksh doesnt know about the job names?  Thanks!
