This would be actually a good way to handle it. Use an special mode or
tool, a la xkill, to deal with stuck applications. It can take the form
of an special key/mouse combination, gestures, or as I said before, an
external tool like xkill. Note that it needs not be limited to killing,
but could do any other thing, like minimizing, sending to another
virtual desktop, etc.
