Bug Description
This is a usability bug, you can't close a process with only the keyboard using the System Monitor.
1. Open system monitor
2. Hit down arrow to select a process
3. Hit alt+p to hotkey de End Process button
4. The Confirmation dialog opens.
5. Hit alt+e to select the confirmation End Process button
6. The Edit menu opens
Alt+e is the hotkey for the Edit menu and also for the button inside the confirmation dialog, you can of course use the key arrows to select the proper button, but still.
Proposed solutions:
Make that dialog modal, or change the Alt hotkey for the End Process button in it.

This bug only occurs if the global menu panel is active on the gnome panel, because the Menu bar lives in a different 'window'.
