Hm. Run the app with root privileges?
(Don't know how to do this, though.)
su (or sudo), or the suid bit.
Nevertheless, the bad news is that whoever drives the Kill (ahem, Force
Quit for those politically correct) panel is a root too, and happily kills
a root application without any problem.
Matter of factly, I think that it is just not possible to make unkillable
app: it would kind of render the kill functionality good for nothing,
would it not? For the precise reason, I don't know at which level the
Cmd-Alt-Esc combination is catched, but it *should* be a low-enough level
which is nonmaskable and nonstealable.
