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.
