Try pressing -; that's the usual shortcut for the KDE
System Guard, equivalent to the command `ksysguard --showprocesses`.

I usually do a `ps ax | grep bash` (or whatever shell you use); then
`pstree $PID` for each shell's PID until I find the one containing the
(hopefully unique) hung process. Depending on how it hung, `top` can
also be helpful, as can ksysguard. Konsole's session tabs can also be
helpful; closing the tab kills the offending process.

Next time it's up, "ps axfww | less -S". See if you can recognize it
that way.

"lsof | grep tty2" appears to show things running on tty2. It's not
immediately obvious how to modify that to show things running in a
particular xterm or similar. I don't have "screen" to play with that.

That's "KDE System Guard" AKA /usr/bin/ksysguard.
