You have an X session manager installed (wdm, xdm, gdm, kdm). Uninstall 
it with:
   apt-get remove kdm
(or whichever _dm is installed).

You could also delete/move/modify the script/link in /etc/init.d or 
/etc/rc?.d (where ? is the default runlevel, probably 2) which starts 
your session manager.

You can search the list archives for gdm and/or kdm and/or session 
manager and learn more abou this issue, but the remove command above 
should solve your immediate problem.
