Description Robert Roth 2012-08-07 19:45:43 UTC 
Multiple selection is allowed in the process tree, but the Kill/End process actions only work on the first element of the selection. A suggestion on fixing this:
* if there are no selected processes, disable these actions
* if there is only one process selected, enable them
* if there are more processes selected, update the action to Kill processes/End processes, and the confirmation dialog to show the names of the processes to act on.

Maybe something similar should be done for the Stop/continue, but I'm not sure on this.
