You need killall kdm
Killing the X-Session using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace might not kill kdm.

Right.
Using `init q´ is the more cleaner way.
init(8):
SYNOPSIS
init
init [0 | 1 | 6 | c | q]
[...]
Run-level Signal Action
0 SIGUSR2 Halt and turn the power off
1 SIGTERM Go to single-user mode
6 SIGINT Reboot the machine
c SIGTSTP Block further logins
q SIGHUP Rescan the ttys(5) file
This should also be documented in /etc/ttys.
