Abstraction is not a bad thing. I am not too fond of nautilus, but to each
his/her own.
I regularly have to kill Firefox. I habitually forget to close Firefox and
then SSH to the same computer from outside (while Firefox continues to run
on the wrong computer). I need to finish the session and I am thankful to
Firefox for preventing me from doing so, or else inconsistencies, fragmen-
tation or multiplicity arises.
I find that the fastest way to achieve this in KDE is to press CTRL+ESCAPE
and end Firefox. From GNOME/Ubuntu (another machine I SSH from), I use
'top' or 'ps -aux'. After a while you get used to it: either killing Fire-
fox or simply remembering to close Firefox before locking a session and
leaving the workstation.
Hope it helps,
Roy
