Ctrl+Αlt+Backspace kills X which then respawns. To kill xdm you could press
Ctr+Alt+F1 to get into the console, login as root and run:
/etc/init.d/xdm stop and, or zap. That avoids the need for a reboot.
If I remember correctly Ctrl+Alt+Del does not work from an xdm login screen.
Ctr+Alt+F1 drops you into vc1, where it works fine.
I tried that. XDM refused to die. That's why I did the reboot.
