killing Xsessions

If I am signed onto a linux box multiple times under the same user but on different displays (LTSP) is there a way to kill these Xsessions if I know what they are by typing w or xauth list and have the root passwd ?

Don't know LTSP details, but usually you can terminate ("kill") a X server by pressing
<ctrl>+<alt>+<backspace>

The easiest way might be to stop(restart) your display manager

/etc/init.d/xdm stop(restart)
