In Gnome Classic in 14.04, I am running a program (it opens a chm file, but I forgot the name of the program and the window doesn't show the name of the porgram) in a window. It becomes non responsive, and even right clicking it and choosing close don't close it.

How can I find out its pid, and kill it from gnome terminal? Thanks.

Just use xkill.

You may run it from a terminal window or from the Alt+F2 Unity HUD.

It will transform your mouse cursor into an × and whatever window you click next with the LEFT mouse button (1) will be killed. You abort this by clicking anywhere with the RIGHT mouse button (2).
