There should be a GDM config directory.  On my Debian system it is
/etc/gdm.  Inside this there are several subdirectories, and I think that
what you are looking for is /etc/gdm/PostSession.  On my machine, there is
a /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default file that is executed when you close a
session.  For more info take a look at the man page (man gdm).
