"I'm busy" should count as unresponsive.

I am a bit concerned here; if the app is still resposive it might be because it
is in a state where killing it could lead to data corruption or loss. Simplest
case is that it popped up a "you have unsaved changes" dialog that did not get
raised for some reason, or it is in the process of saving a very large file
that would get corrupted if interrupted. Offering to force close seems
dangerous here (and is always available from the system monitor).

In this particular case it seems like there was another issue with the window
in that it seemed like it couldn't be activated, which to me seems like the
real bug. (Or that it somehow did not register as unresponsive).

But I'll let someone else handle this.
