Not a VLC user here, so take my advice with a fist of salt (or two),
but I think you might want to describe more precisely what you mean
by "close a VLC session" resp. "end the process". You close the
program's main window?

Close - click on the close button, which closes the window and should
also shut down the application
End Process - click on the End Process option in the System Activity
monitor after selecting the VLC process. According the manual, this is
supposed to send the SIGKILL signal but it doesn't seem to work in this
case. Instead I need to send the Kill signal to the process.
