I get slightly different behaviour with a KDE desktop (started from gdm
though).  In my case I tried "init 1" and most processes, including the X
server, were eventually killed.  However, I had waaay too many processes
left by the time I got to the single user prompt.   As I recall, there were
about half a dozen of which the only one I can remember is the
openoffice.org quick start thing.   Obviousy the only things that should
have been there are the single user shell and the kernel-context processes.

This looks like a problem with the upstart-init not actually killing off
everything it should be killing off.
