oaf-slay kills all processes that contain the name of an executable
that could be launched by oaf somewhere on their command lines.

Lets say I have an oaf launched executable 'guppi-gnumeric' whose
sources live in guppi3/src/guppi-gnumeric/*.  oaf-slay will kill

    vi guppi3/src/guppi-gnumeric/foo.c
or
    gdb guppi3/src/guppi-gnumeric/test

This is not a good idea.
