 In the ProcessController's "Threads and CPU usage" submenu, when you click
 on a process, an alert window will ask if we are sure of this action
 (kill). Instead, under the submenu "quit an application" an alert window
 is not displayed, and this could lead to troubles, if someone does the
 mistake to quit a system process. Eg if you kill the registrar, Haiku will
 become unusable, and could be the same for some other system processes (eg
 the input_server). So my suggestion is to exclude system processes from
 the "quit an application" menu (and maybe also from "Threads and CPU
 usage") or implement an alert window for quit system processes, (also if i
 don't see the need to kill/quit system apps). Any thoughts?
