Anyone got any ideas on why when logged in as a user I can kill processes (owned by root) from a terminal window with 'sudo' but when I use the system monitor (entering the root password) it hangs? I can kill my own processes from the system monitor with no trouble. It only hangs when, after giving the root password, I hit the 'kill' or 'end' botton.
