Default Quick list of running apps? With "Force Stop" option?

Is there any apps which will list all the apps which are currently running on my Desire, and give me the option to Force Stop them, without having to go through the Manage applications option?

I was showing my Desire to a new iPhone 4 owner and was showing him some of the different Launchers I can install on my phone, and because I use Home Switcher to go between them, I think the other Launchers I have installed (HTC Sense & ADW Launcher, I use LauncherPro) are still running in the background.

And the only way I can see to stop them is to go through the Manage Apps program.

I don't want an Automatic Killer, but I would like a list and an option to kill them?

Any ideas?

Yes, but that is only the last 6 apps, and it doesn't give a force stop option.

I guarantee that there is aLOT more apps running on your phone than that 6.
