Linux Mint 'Task Manager'
One of the only things i ever liked about windows was the task manager. When frozen, you could hit the simple shortcut ctrl-alt-del and the task manager would pop up so you could tell it to kill whatever stupid process managed to get stuck because windoze is stupid.
Anyways,
when a program gets stuck in LM i still frantically hit control-alt-delete in the hope that some magical task manager will pop up and save me... but thats not the case...
which is why i'm recommending that we should get one.

There is a Task Manager-like program in Mint: 'System Monitor', in the Administration folder of Mint Menu. But yeah, I'd like it if you could open it from the Ctrl-Alt-Del menu. Often I forget and expect it to be there. - Sam Atkins
This can be set in your keyboard shortcuts (the beauty of linux) ~Dan
How about ctrl+alt+f1, logging in console, killing pid of bad process? Or you can make keyboard shortcut to run xkill, which will kill process window of which you will click next. - Church
@Church: This is not user-friendly. Ctrl+Alt+Suppr is a well known shortcut for anyone who used Windows (or just a computer, since it's used during startup sequence to reboot) to manage application / desktop freeze. ~ Xod
This would be really helpful to me to. ~ Justin
