The above will work as intended - until you upgrade gdm. Then the
symlinks will re-appear. man update-rc.d(8).

However, if you leave a single symlink in place (e.g. one of the K*gdm
ones), then an upgrade will not reinstate the symlinks.

I did not know that. That is a helpful thing to know, since when I haveremoved the symlinks with update-rc.d, I have always been carful to repeatthe procedure after every upgrade of the package involved.


thanks
