I think you are mistaken.

Try it without a login manager.  Just run "X :1", either from a terminal
or a console.  The 1 assumes you're only using display :0; increment it
if necessary.  That should start X with no clients at all, and the
eye-watering default background.  Press ctrl+alt+backspace and it will
go away - it will not restart.

Thanks for looking at this!
