"adb kill" - does it need a root'ed device?

Jupp, does nothing (or results in nothing being killed, neither the
app itself nor the gdbserver)

OK

I just tried it out, and I think you're right.

To kill the gdbserver this worked on my S2:
sudo ./adb shell run-as
eu.licentia.necessitas.industrius.example.fontdrawtest kill -9 14234

I might as well look a bit into Qt Creator code for this part and fix
it if it works OK in there too.

Now at least I know how to kill gdbserver without re-booting ;)
