I found that /usr/sbin/gdm-restart will also do the trick.
thanks,

Does anybody know how to restart X in centos 5.3? /etc/init.d/gdm | xdm seems to be missing.
Those scripts never existed. GDM runs from an entry in /etc/inittab, not from an "rc" script. You should have these two lines in /etc/inittab:
# Run xdm in runlevel 5 x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
So if you have a need to restart X, do "telinit 3 ; telinit 5" and that will stop and start the gdm process.
