Hmmm... I was thinking of a workaround that *may* work fine... what if you just remove the ¨xdm¨ script from the /etc/init.d folder (and the links in the /etc/rc.# folders, also)? This should do the trick *without* the need to completely remove xdm form you system (you may want it back someday) AND without bringing up any problem with broken dependencies... []'s Guilherme Zahn
