In addtion to your methods, another way is to type "exit" in the xterm which is labelled as "login" at the top-left corner. All other xterms in the X Window system are labelled "xterm", not "login". Type "exit" in these xterms will just kill the terminal, not the whole X system. 

I didn't notice that special label before. 

Thank you,
