This brings up another question: when I do apt-get -s --purge remove xdm", it tells me it's going also to remove x-window-system (in addition to xdm). x-window-system is a meta package, so will it just remove that meta package and leave the individual packages alone (so x still functions), or will I need to reinstall the x-window-system again, (or the individual packages) individually after that?
When you remove a meta package, it only removes the meta packages, not the packages on which the meta package depend.
So you're save to remove x-window-system; the rest of your system will be retained.
