The default <A HREF="http://www.gnome.org/start/2.0/">GNOME2</a gnome.org> windowmanager (<A HREF="http://www.gnome.org/softwaremap/projects/metacity/">Metacity</a gnome.org>) has a built-in kill function--just click the window close button<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...
This will, of course, attempt to close the application properly but, if that doesn't work, it will usually bring up a "This application isn't responding" message which gives you the option to terminate the app with prejudice. It can take a few seconds for it to react, and it sometimes doesn't react at all, but that seems to be a relatively uncommon happening.
I have no idea if KDM offers similar functionality, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's been added, or soon will be, if it doesn't already.
