Hey,
I used "resource id", which i got through "xrestop",
to kill my application by "xkill -id" and got success.
:)
Now the problem is changed to find the resource id. I
am pasting the output of "xrestop" here.

-----------!>
Actually here it's showing localized name of the
application (because it's running in Gujarati here).
So if i don't know the language then i am not able to
find the resource id when many applications runnning.
So, is there any other way to get a resource id from
console?
I know my problem is now changed but...! :)
Thank You!
