Michael, You should be able to utilize the underlying HttpSessionListener interface to monitor session creations and destructions, though that requires writing an appropriate Java class which isn't a big deal if you don't mind getting your hands dirty with Java. You'll also need to use J2EE sessions.
Admittedly, having a "native" ColdFusion hook for these events would be useful i.e. you register a CFC that listens for these events and when the event occurs all the "listening" CFCs get notified with the appropriate event. Unfortunately, CFCs don't support interfaces so this might be a little tricky to implement i.e. deciding which method in the CFC to call. Are you aware of the SessionTracker class that maintains a collection of sessions for a given ColdFusion application?

That would be great. OnEventEnd as a setting of some sort in the CFAPPLICATION tag to run a template when the specific event ends (OnSessionEnd, OnApplicationEnd). An admin or programatic way of watching the current session information would also be great. You can hack such a thing now, but built in would be so much nicer. > 2) Direct Image manipulation (at the very least information access and > resizing - it seems like every other week somebody is asking how to do a > thumbnail gallery).

We can create graphs on the fly nativly in CF, we can create images using the CFX_Image tag, we can use X,Y, or Z product to create PDFs.
