But OTOH, if the app gets stuck, you have to kill the complete session, wich 
is just what the OP describes. Other apps that might have been asked to 
shutdown and save their unsaved data after the stuck one won't get a chance 
to save their data in this case. And it's also not very user friendly to rely 
on a special shortcut that not every X server provides and not every user 
knows.
