You can easily remove gdm: apt-get remove --purge gdm.
The function of a Desktop Manager is to log in graphically and start the
appropriate x session. If you don't like gdm, then perhaps xdm is more
to your liking, or you can just get rid of all desktop managers and boot
to a standard login and start xfce manually when you want it.
