the bad news is that whoever drives the Kill (ahem, Force Quit for those politically correct) panel is a root too

Um. Now that you mention it ... :}

But not every app is listet in the Force Quit dialog. I think faceless background apps are missing. Maybe it won't quit one of those automatically?

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?

Isn't the point just locking the screen and keyboard? Of course you could allways ssh in and kill the process from there.

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.

Is it possible to kill the screensaver when it's password protected? <test> No. So it is possible. :)


bye. Andreas.
