[xubuntu-users] cannot close a process

[Luke Van Dervoort]

>From command line try the following:

pkill -9 thunar


You could also try xkill

This will change the cursor to a skull and cross bones. Hover over Thunar
and click. It will kill it and all its process. (Be careful don't click on
the desktop)
