make this helper application an init.d script and you arrive where
debian is currently. i like it that way.
the downside is, that init.d is quite system-specific, so out-of-the-box
installations would have a hard time.

pam is no option, as it is for user sessions - which are started a long
time after the X server is running in the ?dm case.

so while i don't really like it, putting it in ?dm and xinit (which
would need setuid root ...) seems like the best option. of course one
could make them call a script (Xprepare?), but i'm not sure this buys us
that much.
