Why do you want to kill aplications you dont want to run. Dont start them.
Change the top of .xinitrc to:

Code Sample

# put X windows programs that you want started here.
# Be sure to add at the end of each command the &
#grep noicons /proc/cmdline >/dev/null
#if [ $? != 0 ]; then
# enhance &>/dev/null &
#fi
#dillo -f /usr/share/doc/dsl/getting_started.html &>/dev/null &

and NO icons, NO wmapps and NO dillo Getting Started popup.

fluxbox &
rxvt -rv -T fixed yellow "start shell" -e sudo sh /mnt/hda1/start.sh

and

fluxbox

The first one loads fluxbox in the background and runs your script normally. When the script ends, your X session ends.

The second one runs the script in the background and then runs fluxbox normally. When the script ends, your X session is not killed. The session runs until Fluxbox is closed.

I agree completely with henk. You're just making extra work for yourself by closing unwanted running programs rather than just not starting them in the first place.
