Force Quit is available in GNOME which is slightly different. Metacity 
detects if the app is not responsive and prompts to kill it instead. 
There is also a panel applet you can add. However either or both in only 
helpful in some occasions. Sometimes you GUI seems "struck" with just a 
whitespace everywhere on your screen. On other occasions, the cursor is 
struck and won't allow you to click anywhere.
