As Michelle pointed out:
If someone can tell you how the login items are
ordered, you can make yours load last. If it's alphabetical,
that would be easy, but if it's another sequence, that could be a
big harder.
-- Michelle
The problem with this, is while initial load-order follows user/login
Items list order, it doesn't guarantee that any given item in the
list will complete it's load before the next item in the list. Thus,
if mail fires up first but has an exceptionally large database of
stored items to load/sort/update, it may not finish drawing it's
screen(s) before smaller apps & scripts later in the list complete
loading. If there is a dependency issue (load item #14 requires load
item #2 to be completed before firing up), some of the items may need
to be relocated to StartupItems, which load prior to the user login
(as verses to LoginItems, which loads just after time of user login).
Note also that any item named "unknown" in the Login Items list will
simply NOT load, and that remote server-dependent processes/apps/
scripts must be forced to wait until the server's drive loads.
Naturally, there is always another way around all of this -- use a
single script or automator process as the sole Login Item and have it
control the load/launch of everything else. But I like Skeeve's
solution best...
