Today I was testing Paing in Joyride and managed to hung it in a
way that hogs the CPU.
There seems to be no way to kill such an activity from Sugar.
Stop just tries to close the X window, which is ineffective in
such cases.
We'd need to fire a timer to check if the activity is still there
after a few seconds and, in that case, send a SIGKILL. A safer
design would pop a Wait/Force Quit window before proceeding.
