No, I changed into a text console and did /etc/init.d/kdm stop.
ps ax | grep X didn't turn up anything.
When I then try to start X as a normal user, this is what I get:
$ startx
xauth: creating new authority file /home/dh/.serverauth.10626
X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
xinit: Server error.
Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
$
It's all Greek to me, frankly.
--D.
