This should be wishlist. Gnome offers to kill an application if it is detected as frozen for a while.
You can do it manually by adding the force-quit applet to the panel, you can then click a window to kill it.

(The window doesn't turn grey) ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 'Context menu > Close' from a window selector (bottom panel) doesn't close all apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
