I've encountered the same problem whenever I run seamless Win-OS2 sessions. 
They don't shut down properly.  I too have to kill them--I use PM Patrol. 
I've not worried about it much since my configuration is byzantine (currently
running 46 processes and 195 threads according to PM Patrol), and I don't run
seamless Win-OS2 sessions very often.

I do *NOT* have the fastload option enabled.
