I agree. After upgrade I saw an XDM login appear ... I did not even want X
running on that machine at that time. It is mostly an unattended server
but I do keep X on it and use it about 1-2 times/year. I thought it was a
pretty arrogant decision on the part of Debian. Just because I put X on
it, you are going to FORCE me to use it????

Sucks.
