--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I think what he means is that somehow, you should be able to show a GUI window
capable of killing processes even when the rest of the system is unresponsive.
The reference so Ctrl+Alt+Delete is a Windows-ism; on Windows, hitting this
keyboard shortcut always shows a troubleshooting screen from which you can open
the Task Manager even when everything else is frozen.

My wife has expressed a similar desire in response to app and system freezes in
the past. I think it's a reasonable thing to have, in some capacity at least.

This is probably not something that would be done in plasmashell though; moving
to KWin.
