greeter-setup-script is the equivalent to Init, the Xsession.d
stuff is probably run by your distribution's session wrapper
controlled by the session-wrapper setting and there is currently
no equivalent to GDM's PostLogin.

Thanks Guido,

So I guess my next question is how would I be able to have Synergy server running like it currently does?

Cheers,
Gabriel
