I've added some debug output to find out the pid and I realized that KProcess 
kills the correct process. Why I saw the misbehavior was that the executable 
I have started with KProcess was a perl script which launched another 
executable (the one with a GUI). The script is killed, but the GUI app was 
still running. Should the child process also disappear? Any idea how can I 
kill also that one?
