Thanks for all the replies, wineserver -k usually works but I still get  
some processes I cant kill:

15015 pts/5    Tl     0:01 /usr/bin/wine-preloader /usr/bin/wine-pthread  
natspeak

kill -9 15015
kill -9 15015
kill -9 15015

  is not able to kill this.

closing the xterm did in this case lay it to rest.

Thanks again.
