Answer 2

You can always bring a Ctrl-Z'd (backgrounded) process back into foreground using the fg command (eventually with the respective job ID, if needed), then you can use Ctrl-C as if Ctrl-Z never happened:

laptop:/home/me> xkill
Select the window whose client you wish to kill with button 1....
^Z
