Force Quit in active task menus

Registered by tudor achim

Added an option for force quit in the menus for tasks that are active (i.e. have a window). It gets the pid and sends a kill -9 to it. Macs have it, and I thought it would be nice.

It works, except for tasks that can run without an active window (like amarok).

Since bzr doesn't seem to want to work, I've uploaded the changed awn-task.c
at http://t.achim.googlepages.com/awn-task.c

mhr3: Sorry, but we can't really use a patch this way, there's no way to determine which version of the original awn-task.c it patches. Moreover as already written you should have opened a bug report with the patch attached.

2010/08/19 mhr3: Awn since version 0.4 supports XML menu definitions, so it's very easy to add any custom option including "Force Kill".
