How do I close a frozen window

[jacatone]

I installed the VLC player so I could watch some Quicktime .mov files but the window freezes after playing. I can minimize it OK, but the close button doesn't work. How do you close a frozen window in Kubuntu 7.10? Thanks.

Re: How do I close a frozen window

press Ctrl + Alt + Esc

this will turn your mouse pointer into an 'X', which kills whatever you click it on

You could also kill it from the CLI:

ps aux | grep VLC

You should see something like this:

jesse  9435 4.8 0.8 80064 16976 ?    Sl 09:05 0:00 /usr/bin/vlc

kill the process id

kill 9435

Ctrl+Esc will bring up the process window, where you can select the process you wish to kill.
