[PLUG] Top questions

[John Jason Jordan]

1) I can't read the list of running processes easily. I see the
application I want to kill, but just as I am about to read its PID,
the screen jumps. How do I make the list of running processes sit
still? 

2) At the moment I have Rhythmbox running on my Lucid desktop and I
can't kill it. It does not appear in the list of running processes in
top. Gnome System Monitor does list it, with a PID of 24384, shown as
"uninterruptible." In Gnome System Monitor I right click on it and
select "kill process," but it doesn't die. 

From the command line I did "sudo kill -9 24384" and it took the
command without error, but Rhythmbox remains alive and well.

I know I can kill it if I restart the computer, but I shouldn't have to
do that. So far I'm firing blanks. Any suggestions?
