If you're willing to start with startx instead of that gui login
screen, just disable lightdm by putting an exit at the top of its
config file. There's already an example exit statement in an if
statement within that conf file.

I haven't tried it, but I bet just renaming lightdm to gui_atrocity
would also do it.

By the way, if you follow my advice, you need to code your choice of
window manager /desktop environments into .xinitrc.
