You can kill running Programs this way but I was not aware you could 
kill individual windows in this fashion. Unless of cours each window is 
a fresh instance of the same program running which is entirely possible 
on windows.
Although command-option-escape and its equivalent (option clicking on 
the running program's icon in the Dock) is a way to quit out of a 
program, do it only when you need to. Use File menu -> Quit instead.
Shareware/freeware should be able to take care of pop-up under/over 
windows, try http://batista.org/zapper.html
