* /etc/X11/config should contain the line 'start-xdm', you can add the line
'no-start-xdm' to turn it off.

* The nature (and purpose) of xdm is that when you log off, you are presented
with another login screen.  If that's not what you're after, you should
probably just start X up manually with 'startx' instead of using xdm.
