How to add force quit option in ubutnu 12.04

Just got updated my ubuntu version to 12.04 , One of my favorite tool was missing there -Force Quit .
Followed these step and I restored it there in panel

1- create a file named 'Force_Quit.desktop' and contents should be like this

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Force Quit
Comment=Force Kill an Unresponsive Running Application or Window
Exec=xkill
Icon=gnome-panel-force-quit
Terminal=false
Type=Application

2- Place it applications folder , you can open application folder directly using these command
