When a program becomes non responsive most of us may use ps on the command prompt and then use kill to end the process. But here are some ways to kill such non responsive processes;
# When a program gets hung, hit Alt + F2 to bring up the Run dialog.
# Type in xkill and hit enter.
# Your mouse cursor will change into a cross or skull and bones.
# If the unresponsive application is not in focus, use Alt-Tab to switch to it.
Left click anywhere on the application window to kill it.
or
#Simply run a xkill command on the shell.
#now you can proceed similarly as from the third step of the previous tip.
