            Bug ID: 16771
           Summary: RFE: Please add right-click menu items to
                    SIGSTOP/SIGCONT windows
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-panel
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Window Buttons
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: mgorny at gentoo.org
  Target Milestone: Panel 4.14

Some badly-designed programs, particularly web browsers dealing with bad sites
(which become common now that JIT JS engines execute infinite loops so much
faster) and stuff using web views (in my case Chromium, Evolution) can have
significant CPU consumption when entirely idle. This is really problematic when
I need that CPU elsewhere and don't want to kill them right now.

What I'd really use is a convenient right-click menu options to suspend
(SIGSTOP) and resume (SIGCONT) applications, similarly to how I can ^Z them
from console. This is partially related to #12762 but that bug talks of
automatically suspending processes, while this is just about convenient options
for that.
