That's gdm, and you can disable it by [as root]: 1. /etc/init.d/gdm stop 2. edit /etc/init.d/gdm. Stick an "exit 0" near the top of it. Note you should do it in that order. The second step disables the first. And from now on, X desktop changes go in ~/.xsession -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
