reworded I'm not sure what you mean, don't remember seeing the post yesterday . Do you mean the hole system froze? and you can't get to a another login screen, with the fuction keys?
If you just want to "kill" a program / application, run sux, to be root. Then run ps -ef or -aux, to get the list of processes. find the pid number, first column, and kill <pid>. replace pid with the number from the list. If your session froze you can alt f1, or ctrl alt fi, to get a login. and complete the process from there. -- Franklin Maurer <nebbish@sprynet.com> Using SuSE 8.1.

Under KDE you can press CTRL ALT ESC and your cursor will change to a skull and cross bones. Just place the cusror on the offending window and left click. CTRL ALT Backspace - will kill the current xsession. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
