Bug Description

There is no easy way to kill a task/program/process when it is locked. I know the task-manager, but it is not easily available. Why not bring it up when the user presses ctrl-alt-delete, as in that other os? It would be userfriendly.

Thanks for your bug. After some time you get a dialog saying the app is not responding and asking if you want to force it to stop. For the ctrl-alt-del action that's a duplicate of #11160
