Another way is to open another shell, and launch a root session of htop

being a root session, can kill the errant process. Since I do lots of
off the wall stuff on this machine, I keep a root copy of htop running
in the first shell tab of 10 on workspace 0 as the first thing I start
after a reboot. You will probably have to install it as its not part of
the normal install. That and mc are (IMO) your 2 best secret weapons
ever.
Greets, folks . . .
This is a weird one. I unfortunately have the RAW-handling photo
application LightZone as forst in my RAW file association, so when I
accidentally clicked on a RAW file today it opened. (It didn't open
that file, btw, because LightZone is flaky and opens what it had
open the last time it was run, just one of several reasons I really
don't like it.) I tried to close LightZone, but it wouldn't close. I
did 'killall lightzone', but nope, still there. Mouse arrow turns to
point-left-horizontally when I enter the window. Top reports no
LightZone processes running. I have deleted LightZone and its
configuration files. Still no joy.
I have a *huge* file copy underway -- should take the next 10 hours
or so. So I'd just as soon not reboot.
Oddly, I can still moved the window around, maximize it, minimize it
-- just not close it entirely. It seems to have just enough aslive
that I can't get a "window not responding" error. Nothing inside the
window, which is to say in the program itself, responds at all.
Whatcha think?
Any idea how to kill it?
I've never encountered such a thing before.

Ok you have a zombie exe. Here's what I do under your situation.
Open konq as root, go to the lightzone binary and rename it .old
then kill the app. It shouldn't respawn after that.
Let me know if it works for you,
