Changing the executable flag is the best way and it disturbs things the least. But I hope you're not rebooting *just* to get gpm stopped or started. If you are, then note that as root, you can type /etc/init.d/gpm stop /etc/init.d/gpm start to stop and start it at any time. That way, you can leave the default behaviour, which is to start on booting, alone.
