Even better, there is a signal for that event:
SpiceSmartcardManager::card-inserted.

otherwise, it is a simple as having a log handler that filter messages like
this:

if (domain == "GSpice" && strstr (message, "smartcard: card-inserted"))
  log notify (domain, level, message)

It would be interesting to introduce more domains, so that you don't need to
filter by message, for example:

GSpiceSmartcard, GSpiceDisplay, GSpiceAudio etc.. 

But I am not fond of this idea, since it wouldn't be terribly helpful (to
understand what's going on, you'd need several domains), and will probably
match the filename that you can already filter on. Furthermore, the amount of
messages isn't that big, so it seems better to me to just log it all from
GSpice.

But if there is a need, we could do that.
