smoutput in startup.ijs causes a message to appear in jconsole, whether running JCON, JHS or JGTK. (...which weakly satisfies your original request). But I've only verified this for the Mac.
bin/jgtk.command contains the text: #!/bin/sh "`dirname "$0"`/jconsole" gtkide so my guess is that by the time gtkide gets run, startup.ijs has already been loaded and has had time to perform its definitions and overrides. So it would be up to the "gtkide" function (main_jgtkide_ ??) to look for a welcome noun or verb.
