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?
