Adding Force Quit to the menu

Over on Novell cool solutions here: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/14653.html there's a feature on how to add a "Panic Button" to your taskbar to force a misbehaving app to quit

I think it's a real neat solution, and the forum should know about it. So now you do!

It's simpler to kill by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+Esc", and then click on stalled app.

they both have there advantages...

Doesn't work in Gnome, but the force quit can be added.

It wasn't entirely obvious from the description that this is for Gnome only :-(

I normally use xkill, which gives the same functionality at the expense of a little more work.

My apologies for not being clear that this was for Gnome. Isn't Gnome what everybody uses?

I won't rise to that one.
