Yes, on second thought, removal might be best, since I'll never use
xdm, and with a new install, this is a good time to clean house before
I fill it with new furniture. 

For example, I'm now running postfix, but exim seems to be around as
a result of basic installation. The apt-get remove --purge command I
understand will remove exim's configuration files as well. I hope it
would not abuse any files that postfix needs. I guess the aptitude
equivalent would simply be # aptitude purge <packagename>.
