[Bug 47320] Re: /etc/init.d/gdm stop falsely reports gdm stopped

[Mitch Hollander]

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 as a workaround.
