I've successfully programmed my app to configure itself as a Login Item by
tweaking the loginwindow domain using NSUserPreferences. I only set the
Path and Hide keys.
The AliasData key I don't set, since its use isn't obvious to me. It looks
like it might be Finder alias data, judging by the name. If so, that'd be
very useful. It could be a way to insure against my application being
moved or renamed. But I've hunted through the Carbon headers and this
mailing list's archives without finding any clues. Maybe I'm hunting for
the wrong keywords.
Does anyone have hints or solutions for me?
I do the same in my app. The AliasData magically appear after a new login.
But have a look at the CFPrefDockItems from Apple sample code. They use
AliasData there.

Here's a second question: It's unpleasant to tweak another app's defaults
while that other app is running. I send the synchronize message to
NSUserDefaults but the Login Items panel doesn't notice the change. That
can be bad if the user then directly interacts with the Login Items panel,
as it will overwrite my app's changes. Is that just life, or is there
something I can do to notify Login Items to reload its defaults?
