    ctl+alt+F1 doesn't really quit Gnome. It switches to a virtual terminal that
    has getty instead of GDM running on it.

    For more on virtual terminals:
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/consoles.html

    For more on xdm/gdm/kdm:
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html

    That doesn't really cover gdm, but the basics are the same.
