Sorry to take back on an old issue.

Since Ctrl+Alt+Fn can switch from X to almost any V.C., and supposing
you can then take on any task under the command line, I'm seeing no real
point in removing xdm or preventing it from starting the x server on
startup.

But still, if I wanted to exit X... how do I do it?  The exit menus in WM
take me back to the X login prompt, they don't take me to the command
prompt as they used to do in 2.0.

TIA
