GUI applications do not generally handle SIGTERM (or any other signals for that matter). Killing GUI applications is a Bad Thing™ :) Randal is correct, this will lose your saved data in any currently open applications.

This assumes the app is handling that signal properly. We could send KILL or ABRT and that would just end the processes w/o any save options.
