Thanks for the responses. I'll then programmatically modify the login
items, as suggested. Are launch daemons usable in Tiger or are they
simarly not working until Leopard?

Stupid question, how could one do that? Since it's a .plist and I
don't remember seeing a minimum OS version key, what would be the
solution to prevent it from running on 10.4?
I think Dave meant that you should use an alternative to
LaunchAgents,
such as programmatically modifying the login items, which is
supported
and should work in future releases of the operating system, current
versions of the operating system and previous versions of the
operating system.
If a solution is required for Tiger, yes, that is correct.
Going forwards, once LaunchAgents work properly (in Leopard), you
should think about transitioning to them. At this point in time, it's
probably best not to try and implement a LaunchAgent.
Exactly. Transition as your product requirements allow.
