I wasn't interested in setting or unsetting any existing
applications -- merely using a similar mechanism.
For now, you can create your own generic daemon pretty easily and add
it to the login items if you need to do so. However at some point in
the future I would imagine this won't be necessary.
Yes, but it seems silly to do that when there's apparently no need to
run a daemon, as evidenced by the fact that other applications aren't.
Well, in actuality they are. Finder is the "daemon" that is launching
iTunes on a CD insert or DVD Player on a DVD Insert. Etc. I believe
that image capture and printers both use configd daemon plugins to
launch their UI applications.
So, as you see, there is a need to run the daemon and the daemons
(though in one case it is an application) are running.
