running script app at logout, Panther

Does anyone have any experience running an AppleScript application at logout in Panther? I have it all working fine in Tiger, but not in Panther.

I have installed a logout hook shell script that starts up an AppleScript script application. Running the logout hook script from Terminal in Panther works perfectly - the script application fires up and does what it is supposed to. It is only at logout that it doesn't work. I know the logout hook shell script starts at logout because it creates a file and that file shows up where expected. However, the script application does not start. (I use the 'open' shell command to start the script application because it is a bundled application and otherwise it didn't seem to work at all. A bundled application is the only way to get a universal binary.)

Does anyone have any suggestions? As I said, it works fine in Tiger. I can logout and my script application behaves exactly as expected.

Is there another way to start a script application in Panther other than with 'open'? I tried to execute the 'applet' inside the bundle directly, but couldn't get it to work.

Thanks,

Don
