After the change above killing a display manager means just that.
The only reliable way to restart it appears to be

annoying PITA although "telinit line" works in a script.
Something wrong with 'pkill -f gdm; gdm-restart'?  I haven't tried
it,

The only bad thing about it is that it does not work.
'gdm-restart' sends SIGHUP to a running gdm process so you will get
"/var/run/gdm.pid doesn't exist, perhaps GDM isn't running" after
the first command (or other complaints if gdm went away without
deleting gdm.pid file).  If you will skip "pkill ..." then it does
not really helps very much if something hanged.

but gdm-stop and gdm-start work just fine

With this small gotcha that gdm-start does not exist.
It does not appear that writing one will be so difficult, though.

Ah yes, but just 'gdm' starts it.  Or running /etc/X11/prefdm.
