Re: [gdm-list] user startup script

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Joshua:

I suspect that the GDM Init or PreSession script is what you want to
use.  Refer to the GDM docs in the Configuration section:

  http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/docs.html

The Init script will run once when GDM first starts up and the PreSession
script runs just before your session starts.
