by calling XWin -terminate you're starting another process which
knowns nothing about the already running XWin. 

How would you select which of the already running xservers should be 
terminated? (There may be more than just one running) Killing all 
is a little bit dangerous.  With terminal clients you might have different
users on the same box. If one issues XWin -terminate by accident all 
other users would suffer. 

No. This is not an option.
