I've made a patch to fix the typos, however, I don't understand the issue with 
this one:

Breaking it in two sentences will definitely not make sense, and it seems 
quite clear as it is, once you know the context.

It means:
"Allowing the application to be killed in this manner (that is xkill, or 
kwin's window killer, as just described in the previous line) will allow you 
back into the desktop (in case your entire KDE session was previously locked, 
denying you this access), from where you can check in a terminal window if 
the window you just killed left behind any processes (as it was just 
mentioned that killing windows in this manner can, in fact, leave behind 
stray processes that are still running but no longer showing a window)"

If it's still not clear, I'll have a go at rephrasing it.
