As far as I know, Marc, 'Login Items' doesn't do compiled scripts. My early
OS X experience suggested that it's not too reliable with applets either.
I would suggest a very simple script, saved as an application, for use as
your login script.
Something like...
run script alias "path:to:your:startupscript"
I've found many items that don't behave quite as I want when launched at
login, so I made a separate applescript-powered startup items folder that
behaves more like the pre OS X version.
My startup script opens the originals of any aliases it finds in my startup
items folder, hides the processes I want hidden, and plays my startup sound
when all's done. I launch it with a script applet that gets run at the top
of my list of login items :
ignoring application responses
tell application "Jaguar Startup Script" to run
end ignoring
Deploying the script in this way allows it do its thing while other login
items are launching. This must be one of the benefits of multi-threading.
