What you call the "kill" function in the WM is basically XKillClient()
which is exactly what xkill does [1].

Now, if the gtk theme return to its default, this is because you killed
the xsettings manager, ie in xfce what is called the xfce-settings-manager.

This is not related to the method used to kill, but what you actually
killed...
