Right. Ctl-Alt-Backspace kills the X server, then the display manager
(gdm) spawns a new one.

It will if you started X via 'startx'. If you have a display manager
installed and running, then you will see the results above.
Press Ctl-Alt-F[123456] to go to one of the 6 virtual consoles that
are initialized at boot time. Then press Ctl-Alt-F7 to go back to the
X display.
If you don't want X started at all on boot up, then remove the gdm (or
xdm, wdm, or kdm) package.
