These distinctions (at least 3 and 5) are actually useful when debugging

On debian, I have to kill gdm, fiddle, and restart it.
I can see situations where there would be some value in having
different runlevels for different things, but for the given example I
hardly see the differnce between typing:
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
<fiddling with stuff>
/etc/init.d/gdm start
: or typing:
init 5
<fiddling with stuff>
init 3
