If some process has been eating 100% CPU for hours, there should be some kind of a notification that it's happening. Like a small icon could appear to gnome panel and clicking it would show the process details and allow to kill it.
Nowadays with multicore processors this 100% CPU usage can be difficult to notice. I've had it happen several times and lasting for over a week until I finally realized the system is running slower than normal. (I know about the existing system monitor applet. I don't want a distracting animation on my screen.)
