I know what you mean. I should have explained a bit better.

The idea is that "normal" users are provided with the "Stop" button 
only, so that they will not mess with the clean completion of the long 
running background thread. The additional feature to *immediately* kill 
the background thread should not be obvious to "normal" users, but 
should still be there to allow "those who know what they are doing" to 
kill the process immediately. That's why I don't want to show an 
"immediate kill" button along with the standard "Stop" button, but 
rather trigger the "immediate kill" by pressing a (secret) key.

It would be great if anyone has an idea how to implement the key press 
feature!
