I'm leaving the text consoles open for that very reason. If xdm dies,
tries to restart (it will try every 30 seconds as init will sleep) I 
can drop to single user and disable xdm. The only problem with this is
that I won't then be able to get X back without rebooting to securelevel
-1.

Correct me if I am wrong but all the documentation seems to suggest that
the securelevel cannot be lowered even in single user mode?

I am relying on xdm to be stable, which it does seem to be (I have used
it at the default securelevel on other machines).
