IIRC, running 'wineserver -k' will kill wineserver and its processes. It's 
always worked for me, even on apparently stuck programs.

Though both methods (killall with a static wine process name and 
wineserver -k) will kill all wine/windows processes, even ones that are 
running fine. It's easier to killall a specific .exe named process, than 
using ps -fel to look for the PID and using regular kill on it.
