yeah, debian sets up runlevels differently from RedHat and others.
under Redhat and the like; runlevel 5 is a graphical login, other runlevels
are console logins.
debian sets the default runlevel at 2; and then you decide whether
you want a graphical login or not.
on a box I have here; it looks like it just spawns a daemon for gdm, managed
with the init scripts. so if you look through your /etc/rc?.d directories;
you should see symlinks to gdm (or its equivalents, kdm, xdm, wdm).
debian's script to manage symlinks isn't nearly as good at redhat's;
but it should work. try 'update-rc.d -f gdm remove'. that should remove the
symlinks that start gdm. then do (as root) '/etc/init.d/gdm stop', and it
should kill the process.
