I had the same problem and I solved it in one of two ways, either by
removing the startup links with 'update-rc.d -f xdm remove' (as root) or
my editing the /etc/init.d/xdm script and putting

exit 0 

on a line by itself near the top of the script, right after the shell
invocation.  Both methods will work.
