Two reasons:
1. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is faster than opening a terminal, then
typing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, then typing your password.
2. When I tried to use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (because that's
the official way, and I'm a pedant) I used to be dropped down into
a text console, and gdm didn't restart:
