If you're really in dire need of killing the app, chances are good that
disconnecting its display via an X window kill won't help it, and it
might send the rest of the system to the sanitarium. You're likely back
to kill -KILL anyway, unless you want to ignore the silently seething
tank of bogrot lurking beneath the X server and settle down with the
happy illusion that Linux rox0rs because it's designed to always appear
to work.
I don't think anyone can rationally claim that Linux ... never mind.
I don't have such hates to offer anymore, because PRAISE JESUS! I quit
using Linux a coupla years ago. --If my fortune holds up. I still have
great fear that one of these godforsaken appliance wanks will foist
Linux upon me yet, cleverly disguised as something useful and painless.
God have mercy on my soul, I *like* my Mac. Except for that stupid,
stupid new Finder, and the menu bar, and the lack of hierarchy in the
Dock, and the broken terminal emulation, and ....
At least I still have nvi. It's the little things.
