Agreed. Which rc.d(or is it init.d? what is the difference? and what is
the diff between "tellinit 3" and "init 3" as i like to do it?) script
starts GDM, anyway? why not have a separate script in there, controlling
gdm?
The /etc/init.d/servicename {start|stop|restart|status} is pretty
standard. Standards means consistency, consistency means
user-friendlyness (no matter how andvanced an user you are).
