Run a command when GDM starts


I use Synergy to access my laptop when I turn it on next to my desktop. It is a pain to reach over, log in, and then run synergy. I would like synergy to start as soon as gdm loads so that I can move the mnouse over and log in using the desktops keyboard/mouse.

Can GDM run a command at start like that?

Best way to solve a problem is to ask, I always solve my problem shortly after asking.

Simply added the command near the end of /etc/X11/gdm/Init/default
