LoginWindow does A LOT more then just log users in. Its involved in a lot
of different things ranging from app launch, to setting file permissions...
I seriously doubt you will be able to create a replacement without extreme
knowledge of private API's...
It might be possible, on the other hand, to modify loginwindow's
appearance/UI through a plugin API, I don't know anything about them though.
Good luck...
