Olivier,

  Many thanks. I read the xkill man page but I don't understand what the
difference is, in practice.

  Now and then I get a process stuck -- particularly OpenOffice.org;
occasionally something else. I just kill the process to clear it up. Is
xkill more efficient? Easier? Cleaner?

  Just trying to understand the differences.
