You can either remove the gdm package; or stop it from starting, man update-rc.d for more info.

You can create a custom file, .xinitrc, which would live in the user's home directory. Google should get you the specifics on the syntax, but it would be something along the lines of:
exec fluxbox

You might check out this link for more info on an nvidia setup.

Good luck :o)
