Force Quit is an extension that adds a 'Force Quit' button to the top panel of gnome shell, the UI of Gnome 3. Clicking the 'x' icon from the left of the gnome-shell panel changes the cursor into a 'x'. Then, click over a non-responding application to kill it instantly.
Handy if you're prone to working with unstable software grin
[Note: This extension isn't maintained any more.]
This extension employs 'xkill' on the backend.

If it doesn't work on your system, maybe you don't have xkill.
jjmarin on GSE says "In fedora you need to install the package xorg-x11-apps in order to get the xkill".
