[K12OSN] How to restart gdm without rebooting?

[Quentin Hartman]

GDM should be running as a boot-time service, so use the appropriate
mechanism to restart it like any other service. I think that would be
"service gdm restart" on K12LTSP. I am not in front of a Fedora-based
box at the moment to double check. On many distros you could also do
something like "/etc/init.d/xdm restart" to do it. Often, the display
manager service is generically called "xdm", even if one is actually
using KDM or GDM or what have you.
