better yet, why not have it read your brainwaves. 8^D ;)  actually
thought that would be neat functionality.  It has nothing to do with gdm
or early-login though.  Really its just xscreensaver + some other
userspace app that does a xscreensaver-command --lock when your phone
goes out of range.  you could do that regardless.  Doesn't keeping
bluetooth running and communicating with your system suck the batteries
dry pretty fast though? :)
