alt-ctrl-esc will give you the skull & crossbones mouse pointer; click 
it on the wayward app and the app will disappear (though it's useful to 
look in top or ktop for any artifacts you may have to kill 
individually, and in netscape, you'd need to go into ~/.netscape and 
nuke the lock file). after clicking ctrl-alt-esc, the entire desktop is 
seemingly unresponsive until you "unload" the icon of death someplace 
-- so if the "hung" application suddenly comes to life, you might think 
you're in a fix. but hitting ctrl-alt-esc will make the skull and 
crossbones go away again, so you can be about your business.
