Startup items

I want a daemon of mine to launch at startup. But I'd like to do this
without the user having to interact. Is this a good approach? Or should I
give them instructions on how to do this (easier for me, but they might be
turned off by doing it)? I'm thinking of the average Mac user. For my
first publicly released app, I'd like it (and any others I make) to be as
pleasant as possible. I don't see anything about this in the AHIG, so I
thought I'd ask.


As to actually doing the deed, I found that the startup items are listed in
"LoginWindow.plist". Can I add to that file directly, or should I dump it
into the app, then add to it, then rewrite?

Thanks,
