I think* GDM is still active, because of fast-user-switching. Linux is a  
multi-user OS and so it is possible to work with different users  
simultaneous on the same machine. GDM just wait till an other user login,  
which in your case will never happen.

Maybe you can disable the fast-user-switch feature? But I'm not sure if  
this stops GDM from running.
