Yes, the CANCEL button appears before the TERMINATE button.

On SIGTERM, I think we are fooling ourselves if we think people aren't
SIGTERM'ing individual backends.  Terminating individual db connections
is a very common job for an administrator.  If SIGTERM doesn't cause
proper shutdown for individual backends, I think it should.
