Just tried that. The kill command doesn't accept any option other than
a PID.

i can kill apps like controlpanel, Qed and Aniplayer
but it has no effect on xaaes XaSYS or aesthread. Perhaps because xaaes
is a kernel module, not an application.

ctrl+alt+J brings up a "do you really want to"-box, so i have to grab
the mouse again.
