I don't think it should be...  On my system, it shows up as 
/usr/bin/X11/xdm.  

Try "ps -a | grep -i xdm | grep -v grep" and see what it gives you.  

There is also a hot key on newer kernels (which I conveniently forgot, 
sorry) that will dump a listing of the kernel process table to the 
console.

IF you start xdm with "/etc/init.d/xdm start", you should be able to stop it with "/etc/init.d/xdm stop".  In fact, that might work even if you didn't (I haven't tried)
