Ok, what DO I do to shut down gnome if I don't want it running?
ctrl+alt+backspace. It crashes the xserver though, but it'll exit.
Nope. It doesn't work for me. With gdm/X running, ctl+alt+bksp goes
first to black screen then comes back with a new logon window. If I
do it enough times, it reports to the virtual terminal "The display
server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds, it
is likely that something bad is going on. I will wait for two minutes
before trying again on display :0." and then it comes back on.
Turn the gdm entry in /etc/ttys to "off". kill -HUP 1. Then kill the
gdm process.
There is no gdm entry in /etc/ttys. kill -HUP 1 doesn't seem to have
any effect. However.....
In top, killing XFree86 or gdmlogin restarts GNOME. killing them both
results in a "No such process" error on gdmlogin process and GNOME
restarts. However, killing the gdm binary that is in "poll" state
does the job; killing it causes all four of the processes to drop
out of the top display.
Interesting. Thanks everyone, your suggestions helped me find an
answer that works. I don't think it should be this difficult, tho!

When you started with a login manager the ctrl-alt-backspace=restart X.
I use kdm, If for some reason I want to exit to terminal I use a
terminal (logged in as root) and type:
killall kdm
You could try that for gdm.
