It sounds like they were killed, but didn't die cleanly. There
shouldn't be any effect on your system other than they show up in
rxgraph.

Yes, but I can also see them using command "rosnode list". I don't know how this command works, but I guess this info should come from Master Node, so doesn't it has any mechanism to "kick out" inactive nodes out of ROS network?

This sounds like a bug in rxconsole and rxloggerlevel.  They should
die cleanly on Ctrl-C.
