I always set up the kill the X server hotkey sequence of CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE as a way to quickly terminate rogue graphical things without going through a full reboot, you're just logged out. Typically that's something like a broken MPEG or AVI file that has deadlooped a codec or media player hard, for me, but occasionally a program has crashed hard by itself. It's a pity there isn't a hotkey for killing just the frontmost/topmost program. ALT+F4 will close the top/front window, if they're obeying control, but I mean instantly killing the topmost window despite what it wants. There's a force quit taskbar app for that (on Mate, at least), click on it, then click on the window you want to kill. But that can be hard to do if something is really hammering the CPU with a heavy load. Of course you lose all tabs open in a browser, and if your browser is set to re-open previous tabs you're back to square one. Firefox will close the current tab or window if you hit CTRL+W. Though if the site has set up an OnClose event you might have a battle with it respawning some other annoying thing as it closes. Likewise, if it's pegging your CPU at 100% usage it can be hard to get control. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.99.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 14:19:20 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
