I accidentally caused this to be the default setup in Debian 3.0.
Harrowing experience! Worse yet, xdm wouldn't even accept a username and
password. I had to boot from a rescue floppy into single user mode to
fix it.
Anyway, I resolved it by finding that there were symlinks in the
/etc/rcN.d directories to xdm. In your case, that might be gdm. In any
event, init was running this as the last thing in the default runlevel.
I killed the symlinks, and it no longer happened. So you might try that.
Gotta be somewhere in the init process, though.
