That's rather heavy-handed. You don't have to kill the X server to get
a new xterm. There are two separate entities here: the X server (whose
visible presence is the tray icon) and the xterm client with its
visible window. The X server startup just has this convenience feature
that allows you to have a terminal window right away. On my machine
I've disabled this; the X server is started at logon and I launch
terminal windows when I need them, from desktop shortcuts.

Check the right-click menu of the X server: there should be a sub-menu
called "Applications", which should contain a menu item to launch an
xterm. This would remove the need to stop and relaunch the X server.
