How do I do this? I've been looking at modifying xinitrc and xinitrc-common to remove the desktop manager, but this seems a bit brutal.
not at all. this is the way it is supposed to be. i would edit /etc/initd.d/xdm (or whatever it is called on your system) to execute startx instead of the display mangager.
a more clean solution is to remove /etc/initd.d/xdm and write a new script to start X though, you get the idea.
then edit /etc/X11/xinitrc to contain "exec /usr/local/bin/runvdr". YMMV.
