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&q= uot; or
"quit" either. Click the entry, to surface the program, then clos= e, 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...

I use sig-kill from lswitcher quite often.
