Verified on Feisty that removing --exec makes it work. Additionally, the
--oknodo argument to start-stop-daemon makes the script return success
even if it did not kill gdm.
I guess start-stop-daemon should just ignore the --exec argument when
--stop is present? At least not just ignore everything

Yes, it's a problem with the arguments given to the start-stop-daemon.
IIRC, leaving out the --exec argument makes --stop work.
This is still a problem in Feisty, after running "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm
stop", the two gdm processes keep runn
This is also the case when using sudo, i.e.,
"sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop". And by extension, affects "restart" as well.
The main problem is that it prevents the user from restarting gdm
without rebooting - necessary when trying to solve xorg problems on the
Live CD.
"killall -HUP gdm" can be used
Thanks for your bug. I've just tried on a bunch of softwares from init.d
and several have that issue, that might be something to change to the
lsb-base package
