unresponsive (as in it doesn't even show anything but the background) while
the transcode is going ape.  And I'm not sure that delete does any good if
the job is already in progress.

I think before I shut down the backend before I killed the transcode, since
I was hoping that stopping the backend would stop the transcode.  Maybe if
I kill the transcode while the backend is running the backend will notice
that it's a failed job and give up.
