If you have root access on your box you can play around with the scripts
in /etc/gdm. Just insert lines the prints the name of the file (using
echo redirected to a file, or logger(1)).

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

The corporation as we know it, which is now 120 years old, is unlikely to
survive the next 25 years. Legally and financially yes, but not stucturally
and economically.
