Since my PrefPane needs to launch a faceless background app (which will
likely be Carbon), how can I do this at login time?

Do PrefPanes get a message when the user logs in, or only when they are
actually opened? It need to work like a CDEV/INIT of old.

Pref panes don't do anything until the user runs System Preferences and clicks their icon. They don't get automatically called by anything. If you want something to happen at login time, or boot time, it's an entirely separate process, involving adding something to the user's login items, or creating a startup item.
