I googled around and found a thread about this...

If you go into the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, choose General and 
Command, you can specify a command number and give it the command 
"xkill".  Then open the key bindings and choose a key binding for the 
command number you chose.  It doesn't look like you can use the esc key, 
but I did get it to work using <ctrl><alt><end>.  It looks like they 
have a special command (Command11 on my system) setup to do the same 
thing already, but it doesn't seem to work.

I never knew about the xkill command, it's nice to find.
