    Yes, you can do that. But the way to configure it will be different depending if you use KDE or Gnome (or something else).

    I made a small how-to here :

    It is aimed at Debian/Ubuntu, but it should work for Suse too, given you are using Gnome.

    If you will press ctrl+alt+esc a cursor with a skull will show up.
    Any process that you will click with it will close. To don'tclose any process press right mouse button.

    its NOT good to use 'xkill' ( skull cursor ). its quite possible that you could click at wrong place, wrong window or even kill X Server.
