How do I find out what that may be? CTRL-ALT-ESC seemingly does nothing on my computer.

I havn't used CTRL + ALT + ESC for ages, and had forgotten all about it. It does work ok, but its a case of CTRL + ALT, and then a tap on the ESC key,
It does nothing on my computer except to cause the current window to lose focus, and a highlighted line appears around the screen. No change to the cursor. Nothing happens if I click on a terminal window while the screen is highlighted.

Does "xkill" work from the command line?
It always does for me, I never knew of CTR+ALT+ESC until today.

Can't you open a terminal, run top, and kill the process?
