Subject: How should tasks be killed with KDE?
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=100385043431826


Ok, it happens once in a while.  A task dies, leaving a dead
window on the screen.

How am I supposed to kill it with KDE?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
What would be the "right way" to do this?

An extension to the KDE menu?
	Configure
	To Desktop
	----
	Force program shutdown
	Close window

A task manager?

One of those error-prone "skull & cross bones" things to kill the next window?

How do we communicate that this is a "last resort", not the usual way a user
should stop a program?

And should "kill task" be available to Kiosk type users?
