    You could also find out the ID of the process using ps -e, and then use "kill XXX" (where XXX is the ID number of the process you wanna stop)

    I'll add that you can kill all the processes of an applications without having to "ps" to get the process id that way:

    Code:
    killall application_name

    Code:
    kill ID

    to run XKill you could also do:
    Ctrl+Alt+Esc which will allow you to kill windows by clicking on them.
    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

    I love this one when not working from CLI. Just be careful though with this, don't click anything else until the icon disappears from the mouse cursor. Killing the kicker-panel isn't much fun when you're new to linux

    is Ctrl+Alt+Esc in Linux equal to Ctrl+Alt+Delete in Windows?

    No. Ctrl-Alt-Esc changes the mouse pointer into a little skull that you can use to kill applications by clicking on them.

    Ctrl-Atl-Del in linux is more similar to ctrl-alt-del in windows
