 From the command line you can type: |"sudo xkill"

There's no reason to use sudo for xkill. Root can't do anything with xkill that you, as the X session owner, cannot do.

xkill doesn't kill an application, it causes the X server to disconnect the client application. Usually that will cause the application to exit, but if it's well and truly stuck, it may continue consuming memory and CPU resources in the background, in which case you'll still need to track it down and kill it.
