..do you want gdm to start, or do you want to hop straight into your

..ok, if Kevin understood you correctly, his advice will do what you
want. Many ways to skin these cats. ;-)
..'init 1' should kill gdm, then rc.d-config (or somesuch, I don't have

into /etc/init.d/ , if you want x|k|w|gdm "only in some cases".
