do a ps aux | grep yourlogin to get the pid and than 'kill -TERM pid'.
If that doesn't work, 'kill -9 pid'.  If that still doesn't work, you've
probably got hardware/driver issues causing your problems and will have
to reboot to get rid of the process.

grasp of metaphor, subtlety, or allusion they want instead everything direct, 
predictable, and simplistic.
