The scripts that start your dm are not in any initrc file. they are located in /etc/init.d (eg: gdm,kdm, xdm) etc. they are linked to the appropriate run level "rc" directory (eg. /etc/rc5.d). the reason it shows the "#do not start" messages is because you picked gdm as your preferred dm. don't remember the exact file to change it ( I think it's something like /etc/X11/preferred_dm). so, if you want to check out how gdm is invoked, check /etc/init.d/gdm script. Make sure you make a backup of the original _before_ you start changing it.
