Bug#760381: gnome-system-monitor: stop process needs confirm, NOT within 1pix of mouse, warning about stopping X: dataloss

[Charles Evans]

Package: gnome-system-monitor
Version: 2.28.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

In the processes tab, any attempt to access the context menu 
is a 1 pixel slip away from stopping the process being examined.

If one is examining Xorg, 
that is 1 pixel away from locking up the desktop. 

Ctrl-alt-backspace fails, ctrl-alt-F1 fails; AFAIKT
only magic-sysreq can limit dataloss to whatever was running on X.

IMHO: 

1. The user should be warned before stopping a process
2. The user should be warned specifically a second time of the consequences of stopping X, if the process is Xorg.
3. The stop choice should NOT be near the mouse pointer for any rtclick position.

FYI: version 3.12.2-1 has the same problem.

Thanks
