The easy way to restart gdm is when you are on the login screen itself or the
desktop simply press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This works for Upstart in CentOS 6.x
but will not work for CentOS 7.x which uses Systemd. The service command does
not work for gdm. However, logging out of the desktop will restart gdm. It works
for the graphical login exactly like the gettys in a TTY environment.

Well, I used to agree. But when a bug report filed in December goes
untouched entering April, which I don't recall happening prior to RH
subsuming the project, it takes away impetus to ever file one again
from lowly end users like me I think.

Thanks for drawing my attention to that bug. I encountered it the other
day after switching from runlevel 5 to 3 (and back again) on a CentOS
6.6 machine.
The purpose of the runlevel switch was to restart gdm. Is there a better
way?
