Description Thomas Lübking 2016-06-15 06:12:11 UTC 
Should probably be harmonized.

Maybe
* tag the client
* ::kill(PID, SIGTERM)
* wait few seconds
* if the tagged client is still there, ::kill(PID, 0), ::kill(PID, SIGKILL)

Reproducible: Always

I found the following files

src/helpers/killer/killer.cpp
src/x11client.cpp

in KDE 5.24-master, so the issue might still persist. It doesn't really sound like a bug, but rather a code cleanup that should be done sometime in the future.
