[K12OSN] How to restart gdm without rebooting?

[Petre Scheie]

Nope, no xdm or gdm or kdm in /etc/init.d.  I also looked in /etc/rc5.d, 
since it presumably would be loaded when the system goes to runlevel 5; 
but I don't see anything there, either.  I also tried grepping for gdm 
in all the files in /etc/init.d, but got nothing.  Anyone have any other 
ideas?
