Do a 'ps -ax', find the main process, and kill the pid. David Kramer wrote:
Long ago, there used to be this X Windows application where you started it, and the next window you clicked on would be killed. Is that still around? I can't find it.
I'm using Red Hat 7.3 with KDE 3.04[0], and every once in a while I go to some page in Konqueror that freezes up when rendering. Sometimes I even get that "I am using a Microsoft O/S and I'm running out of GDI so when I drag an application it leaves a trail of window images in it's path" effect, which I don't think should happen in any case.
My system is about 94% idle, I have about 11MB RAM free and about 250M swap free. It's not starved for resources.
Now, since the process behind the window appears to have died, I can't kill the process. I have moved the window to another virtual desktop, but there must be a way to make it gone. alt-f4, file/close, and clicking on the X decoration all are about as effective as complaining about the weather.
There is nothing in /var/log/messages (as much as I can tell wading through all the "Packet deny" lines for port 137).
[0] As a side question, I did an rpm -q kdebase to verify this, and I see that I have [root@uni mail]# rpm -q kdebase
kdebase-3.0.0-12
kdebase-3.0.3-0.7
kdebase-3.0.4-0.73.1
I always do either rpm -Uvh or rpm -Fvh. How could I have the older ones installed? Can I safely remove them?
