I would recommend not changing the value to K??gdm as that has special
meaning to init. Changing it to something like s??gdm, norun??gdm etc
will prevent it from running.
Changing it to a K will force a 'stop' parameter to be passed to the
script - therefore the script will still be run and more whackyness
could ensue. Changing it to a lower case 's', or something entirely
different (just not an 'S' or 'K') will remove it from the loop
completely.
