I'm using KDE and made use of the 'Restore session' feature when I had a few browser windows open. Now whenever I start up they appear and stay in the panel, the icon isn't there and nothing happens if I click on them.

They now come up everytime I'm on KDE and I can't find out how to close them so that I can use the restore session thing again to restore a session which doesn't involve them running.

Basically what I need is a way to terminate the applications, I'm hoping there's a way to do it through the console.

All help is appreciated, thanks very much, Richard Boulton.

Do a ps ax and kill 123 to kill off program with PID no. 123. Obviously substitute 123 for whatever program you want to kill. :)

do a ps -aux
then find the pid number of the running process and type this:
kill <pid number>

Cheers, that worked great, I'm going to have to start learning these damned console commands for myself :)
