I don't know what version of gdm you are running, however you might try right clicking and seeing if you get an additional menu, or there may be a configuration menu/icon on you login screen. This should allow you to configure all these items.
If it isn't present look at /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. There should be an entry commented out about "menu" uncommenting this item and restarting gdm should place this menu on you login screen.
