If you create an executable file in your home directory called .xsession

#!/bin/bash

gnome-session
some-other-commands

(remember to do chmod +x .xsession) then chose "default" session from
the session menu in gdm[1] this will run the commands _after_
gnome-session ends. 

I'm not sure what would happen if you chose "shut-down" or "restart"
from the logout menu instead of "logout", I'll check it later and get
back to you, unless someone else would like to tell ;)

[1] If your not using gdm I'm not sure how to choose to run the
.xsession but there should be an option to do so.
