I solved this problem.  For those of you who are required to put up the DOE warning banner or any other sort of disclaimer that aborts a gui login, the solution is to put the attached file in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d.  The scripts in xinitrc.d are run from xinitrc-common.  The distro's first script is 00-start-message-bus.sh.  Choose a name so that the DOE warning script is run before it.  No point starting up dbus if the user chooses to decline the disclaimer and abort the login.

I used this feature to put up a zenity dialog which the user had to click yes in order to continue logging in. Now, the user logs regardless of the script.
