I thought it did. I wouldn't have bothered to post if I didn't. Ah, just checked, it's gpm listed in services. My bad. I'll hazard a half-baked guess to init 3 and from there enter gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart, according to what the man page sez. Luckily, I haven't borked that up yet to try. Not sure I'd attempt it while still in level 5 though.
