If somebody manages to do that, I'll buy him a beer. :-)

One rather important difference is that the feature in ProcessController is
hidden functionality one wouldn't expect under "Threads and CPU Usage". Besides
ProcessController is totally mouse-centric, so IMO it doesn't really matter
whether the most common action is the default, since one would use the mouse
anyway. In doubt I'd go with the least destructive one as default, i.e.
"Cancel". Same for the alert for a thread.
