Programs like Xine and XMMS refuse to shut down properly on my installation, and they are bringing a heavy load to my CPU. If I use killall xine or kill <pid> it just keeps running, but if I use kill -KILL <pid> then it always terminates instantly. It always worked for me. I'm using 5.2.1 RC-2 though, and not 4.9.
