I think there's a key to stop xdm (C-r? C-M-r?).  Othe display managers have
more explicit ways of achieving this (wdm has a "exit" option along with
"halt" and "reboot" right on the login panel -- it can be configured to
requiere no password at all, requiere a valid login/password or "only root
can do that")
