Yeah, but you know what it is. I always use the lSwitcher widget, which 
has a desktop icon, on the left end. If I hold Ctrl, and click that 
icon, it lists the running processes, and clicking one of them results 
in an option to kill it. Even that is probably too easy to do. I would 
consider Dos/Sigkill to be an advanced procedure, which should not be 
in a general user menu.
