Kill program from X11 like CAD

[scu-ba-de-buntu]

How do I kill an X11 application using a keyboard command? The program does not have Linux specific bindings (interupts). I want something like Ctrl-alt-del and process manager.

thanks

10.04, gnome

Have a look at this thread:

so yeah, I tried ctrl+alt+print-screen+b
and it turned my computer off instantly. I'm thinking thats not what you want.
maybe use the keyboard shortcuts app under
system > preferences >keyboard shortcuts

use the xkill command with some custom keybinding

Gnome has the "system monitor" and also a process tab on that.
It's under system > administration.

Right click on the process and kill it.

Using a keyboard only:

CTRL-ALT-F1 to drop into a terminal session.

Log in.

ps -aef | grep "CAD PROGRAM NAME"
kill -9 "PID of CAD PROCESS"

and so on until all associated processes are killed. Great for killing wine when Windows games screw up...

CTRL-ALT-F7 (may be F8, but unlikely) to get back to your desktop.

If no program shows up, just
ps -aef
and find the program you're looking for, note the process ID and kill it.

ps -aef with drop to console and kill solves my problem. Thanks everyone!
