Pressing [Ctrl+Alt+Esc] (the mouse cursor changes) and then clicking on a window under KDE allows you to kill a specific window!

Tried it; and it didn't work. I think further documentation is clearly in order here!

It works for me… It avoids to use xkill (yes, I know that it's xkill, but I don't need to look for xkill)

P. S. Please excuse my english… I'm a frog eater…

Depends on how KDE has been initialised and set up. To find out or change: in the KDE CC, select "Regional & Accessibility" and then "Keyboard Shortcuts". In the "Global Shortcuts" tab open the "Miscellaneous" section - you will find a line for "Kill window"

Must install xkill for it, #urpmi xkill

Sweet. Works perfect for me.
