That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/31803

"User goes to
System->Administration->Services, enters password, and unchecks gdm

GDM still starts at boot.

See the thread below for 2 users with that problem.

Others in that forum thread reproduced it in Breezy.

I just reproduced it in Dapper.
In Dapper, the behaviour is as follows:

Uncheck the check mark. Warning dialog box pops up saying that you may lose data.
Click yes, and gdm shuts down immediately.
On a reboot, gdm starts up again.

However, this works:
Uncheck the check mark. Warning dialog box pops up saying that you may lose data.
Click yes, and gdm shuts down immediately.
Log in, and type startx. Go to services-admin. Uncheck gdm again, click yes, and then click OK. GDM is now disabled. :)"

Gone, according to the original reporter in Launchpad.
