nope, that will break the system and make gdm/xdm unusable by any
startup script, even on runlevels on which they *should* start
automatically. the right way is to do it with (if i remember the
command's name correctly) "update-rc.d". if that isn't the correct name,
just type "update-" at the bash prompt as root, and hit <tab> a couple
of times to see the alternatives. then do a "man update-rc.d" (or
whatever), and you'll be on your way.
alternatively, you could use the kde programme "ksysv".
