You probably have some terminal windows open. Type 'w' at a command 
prompt to see who is logged in and what they are running. The FROM field 
will tell you where the user is logged in from (:0.0 is on the local 
display).

To kill a user, you can try killall <username>. I have not tried that 
with linux, but it worked for a unix machine I had.
