Did you try clicking the 'Close Window' icon in the app window's title
bar? That usually works for me (Fedora 13/14, Gnome). There is usually a
pause of several seconds and then a dialogue box appears asking whether
you want to wait or force a quit. Forcing quit generally cleans up
pretty well, though its worth opening a terminal window and running
ps -u $USER
to see if anything is left that shouldn't be there. If there is, you can
try logging out and in again and/or using 'kill -9 ' to get rid of the
unwanted processes: it won't kill processes you don't own. If you
accidentally mess up your login session by killing something you
shouldn't, logging out and in should fix that.
