Depends on your distro. That key combination doesn't work for me unless I program it in. For an Ubuntu GUI kill app, simply right-click on a panel (top or bottom), click "Add to Panel", scroll down to Desktop & Windows, click on "Force Quit", then click the "Add" button. You'll then find a nice icon on the panel that you can use to easily kill an app when it misbehaves. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
