Would it be worth having some visible differentiation; between "Quit"
and "Force Quit"?  The menu could be replaced/overridden by "Force Quit"
if the application has not responded within some determined
interactivity timeout (typical 100-3000msec, the same timeframe at which
the window is dimmed for being non-responsive).

This would subconsciously provide the with the knowledge of whether the
delivery mechanism will be a polite WM_DELETE_WINDOW/SIGQUIT or a
defenseless kill -9.  On platforms such as the iPhone the mechanisms are
accessible to the user via the home button, where the user either sends
a quick press to return to the main menu and a 2-second button press
which kills the foreground application out-right.
