It does work ok, but its a case of CTRL + ALT, and then a tap on the ESC key, and the skull should appear on your mouse pointer. Make sure the pointer is on the top of the window you want to kill, and a single left click kills the window like magic. Warning!!! Dont click the pointer if it's on a blank bit of desktop, otherwise your likely to kill the desktop. I've done that. Doh. Nigel.
