I do not want to be a PITA, but...

What you say makes sense, but from the users point of view it is irrelevant - 
the user sees two different process managers. 

The difference between windows and processes is unclear to the user, he 
expects us to kill the process(es) if he kills the window. To me, ksysguard 
should be the "advanced view" to the "kill a hanging window" dialog.

The necessity for a process manager should be clear (honestly, if you have 
ever used a windows system, who has *never* had to use the task manager to 
kill an app?).
