"Command + Option + Escape" if less elegant, but should work, too.
Just a word of caution... the force-quit approach is FAR more dangerous. If the AppleScript isn't the currently executing process at the instant you press those keys, you'll likely kill some other process and risk crashing the entire machine, possibly corrupting something in the process. Shift + Quit is a controlled termination of just that applet which is guaranteed not to damage anything.
