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!
