Only if you explicitly switch over to run level three.  X is usually
running, automatically, in run level five.  But you can start and stop X
by hand, and remain in run level three.  You can use the telinit command
to switch levels, and it will start and stop X, as well, if the defaults
are left to run it on level five, and not to run it on level three.
