If we put icons up for each service we started, this could start during the GDM login (across the bottom, lets say) and if the user logs-in before we're done starting services, the icons could be preserved and continued during the session init screen (where there are icons going across the bottom of the GNOME/KDE login banners) and the only "wait" point would be until the session init is done. That way you could have "needs attention" GUI items run/addressed first-thing.
