Two reasons:

  1. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is faster than opening a terminal, then
     typing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, then typing your password.

  2. When I tried to use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (because that's
     the official way, and I'm a pedant) I used to be dropped down into
     a text console, and gdm didn't restart:

     (rejected as "not really a bug")
