The attached patch will prevent lxdm from starting in runlevel 2 (and 1,
don't know why lxdm is supposed to start in RL 1). One has to edit their
/etc/init/*dm.conf for the desktop manager they're using.

But I agree with James here: there's no reason to start X11 in runlevel
2. Just because some-other-distribution does it, did not seem to be a
valid excuse before. And when some-other-distribution starts X11 in RL 5
and users find it practical, I'd say: go for it. But not because of a
policy but because of user's "demand".

To be more specific: disable X11 in RL 2 and set the default RL to 5.
Nobody would notice and power-users can just alter the default runlevel
or pass "2" to the bootloader and still have a functional multi-user
system but w/o X11.
