/etc/X11/gdm/PostLogin/Default

[Tony Dietrich]

How will you be adding users in the systems?

If you are going to get the users added with the 
#adduser
command, then all you need to do is alias the adduser command and wrap it in a 
script that can do any tasks you want.  Add the alias into the 
system-wide .bashrc etc.
