\_ Hello: \_ Another quick question. I'm using KDE on my Mandrake box and I \_ generally like it. (I don't want to provoke any flame wars about the "best" \_ user interface!) I just want to know-- if a misbehaving application hogs \_ cycles to the point that the mouse is malfunctioning, how do I bail out of \_ it without pushing the "reset" switch? Skimming through the "KDE in 24 \_ Hours" book I have, I don't see anything to that effect. run top in a term window, figure out which process is stealling cycles, then kill it either through top ('k', I believe) or from the command line 'kill'.
