There was a thread about properly terminating the loop that updates
your status bar [1].

If you want to kill everything started in .xinitrc you could remember
every PID to kill them all at the end:
xbindkeys &
PID1=$!
wicd-client &
PID2=$!
dwm
kill $PID1 $PID2

You would have to be sure that the programs keep their PID and are not
replaced by child processes. Otherwise you would kill random processes
in the end.
