Just recently I have started an application that then freezes. It shows in the list of processes viewed using something like KDE System Guard or Top but cannot be killed by using either of the above or 'kill' from the command line.
Have you tried kill -9 <pid> ?
No but I did try from KDE System Guard using KILL rather than TERM and that didn't work so I imagine that kill -9 <pid> wouldn't work either but I will try it if (when?) it happens again.
There is also "kill -s KILL <pid>" which sometimes works if kill doesn't. Jen
