You need to remove the kdm from your start-up services.  There should be
a service manager in your GUI that will let you un-check the "Graphical
Login Service" (warning: this might cause your existing session to just
shut down, so be sure to save everything first.)

Alternatively, you can find the link to kdm in your /etc/rc2.d
directory.  Rename the file to change the S to a K.

Example: mv S30kdm K30kdm
