"exit" vs. "X-ing" out of a terminal

Hi all,
Some time ago, I posted a question about mysterious users that showed up
when I would do a "who" at the prompt. I have a question related to
that issue. Is there any difference in typing "exit" to stop a terminal
vs. clicking on the "X" in that terminal's window? I wonder if these
extra users are due to my "X-ing" out of a terminal rather than typing
"exit" at the prompt.
Is there any harm done by "X-ing" out of the terminal?
Is there a proper way to retrieve those users remaining from a prior
X-out so that I could "exit" from them? (short of rebooting, I can't
seem to remove the extraneous users.)
