All runlevels have start and stop scripts, so leaving runlevel 5 should 
stop its runlevel-specific services (like xdm, obviously). But why 
don't you just try it?

Activate something like xinetd for a given runlevel, and then switch 
back and forth, monitoring the process status as you go along. Pretty 
simple to establish what's happening. Hey, this is UNIX :-)
