*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

There are no common names for applications, there is no default popular
keyboard shortcut to access the System Monitor (like Ctrl+Alt+Del or
Command+Opt+Esc), and there is no tab for applications that the user
actually knows are running (like open windows). We need to look at
Microsoft's task manager for insight on how to make the System Monitor
both for Ubuntu's target audience (everyday people) and big tech-junkies
like myself. This can be a security risk, especially for people new to
GNU/Linux and Ubuntu, as a serious problem could be running without the
user able to stop it easily.
