Public bug reported:

To observe expected behaviour:

Log in as "Ubuntu" (3D).
Open a terminal
Run "gcalctool" from the terminal
Switch back to the terminal
press ctrl+Z to suspect gcalctool

Now try to close gcalctool.
After a few seconds, Compiz will recognise that gcalctool is not responding, and offer an option to kill it.

But if you log in to "Ubuntu (2D)" instead, you don't get that "force
quit" option.  gcalctool just sits there, refusing to close.
