Personally, I would prefer to not see Dos/Sigkill in something like
lSwitcher. If a normal close (or "quit", if somebody thinks that is
actually necessary) won't do the job, they probably should be using
CADH or TOP to do it. In fact, I don't see a need to have "close" or
"quit" either. Click the entry, to surface the program, then close, or
quit, as desired (or is that too complicated?).

Sometimes, more features are just too much, and they often cause
unexpected problems.

Just my C$.03...
