Close - click on the close button, which closes the window and should 
also shut down the application

End Process - click on the End Process option in the System Activity 
monitor after selecting the VLC process. According the manual, this is 
supposed to send the SIGKILL signal but it doesn't seem to work in this 
case. Instead I need to send the Kill signal to the process.
