My guess would be that Init is where you start synergy for the greeter, 
PostLogin is where you shutdown synergy when the greeter goes away (or 
whatever gdm does), PreSession is where you restart synergy for the new 
Xsession and PostSession is where you would shutdown synergy for 
logout/shutdown.

It's been along time since I used it, but IIRC starting synergy for use 
with the greeter doesn't carry over to the Xsession. You need to 
shutdown synergy postlogin and restart it for the Xsession.
