This kind of annoyed me to I actually went back into /etc/init.d/xdm and
edited the script the way it used to work in hamm - so that I could put no-
start-xdm in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.options and X would not come up when I booted
up. Then simply changing that to start-xdm would revert to having X up at
boot time. If you want a copy of my script, just ask... (ps - it also has
start-kdm for my KDE setup as well, but that part can be ignored.) Or, just
look at the hamm version of /etc/init.d/xdm

PS - Why was this feature taken out in slink? I couldn't find any other way
of NOT starting X at boottime other than to add this script data back in.
