Hmm... I ran into this once a long time ago.  Are the users actually 
exiting XWin.exe, or are they leaving it open?  You know, Takuma 
Murakami added a catch for WM_ENDSESSION in XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22; this 
message is thrown when a user logs off and catching it causes XWin.exe 
to shutdown cleanly.  Thus, 4.3.0-22 might fix your problem.  Have you 
tried 4.3.0-22?
