How can I dismiss a frozen “Deleting Trash” dialog box?

Question

I have the trash dialog box up, and it's frozen. What process needs to be killed in order to remove it, without having to restart?

	it will only stop the finder, no other apps. since the finder is what is frozen, it would be what you have to kill – segiddins Oct 12 '12 at 1:51
