thank you,
I found a very simple as well very elegant way to kill an application, if
it has a graphic interface on the screen:

From the command line you can type: "sudo xkill"
the result of this command is a a "particular shape of the cursor" that can
be used to terminate a program, simply clicking on his window with this
cursor.. [?].
It works really very good..
man 1 xkill

CAVEATS
This command does not provide any warranty that the application whose connection to the X
server is closed will abort nicely,
or even abort at all. All this command does is to close the connection to the X server.
Many existing applications do indeed abort when their connection to the X server is
closed, but some can choose to continue.
