And, even if we don't install X, why should't services toggle their runlevel 5 state?
Did you manually turn services on for runlevel 3 before editting the inittab?
chkconfig --list will give a summary of the runlevel activation settings for each service.
Does chkconfig list the services you are concerned about as being active for runlevel 5?
