Public bug reported:
I am testing Gutsy Beta at the moment and, as has become horribly common
with the -intel driver and compiz, I often have my CPU fly to 100% due
to one bug or another.
This morning I had Firefox max out the CPU. I tried to close it with the
[x] and waited for the "Force Quit" dialogue to appear. 10 minutes later
it still hadn't done so.
My understanding is that applications can be run at different priorities
and that, were the Force Quit application run at a higher priority than
normal applications (such as Firefox), the Force Quit box would be
displayed promptly even if a normal-priority application was stuck in an
infinite loop.
At the moment it seems that Force Quit fails me when I need it the most!
