What kind of 'application' is it?  Does it have a menu and windows?

Yes it has a window but that window is transparent and kept above my
main applications dock icon. This is becos the user shud not know that
there is a window placed over the dock icon, while drag n drop of
itunes playlist and tracks.

Why not?

Actually there r two applications one is main and another is this one
which has a transperent window and kept over main application on dock.
Now i need is to launch this application whenever user starts up mac
or login to account. And thats why i need that the user shud not
remove this application.

Ya i have read this and added my helper application so that it can be
launched thru launchd.And it worked as i need but one more problem i
am facing is that it only launches on startup of mac not when i logoff
and again login. Can u suggest me some property like i have tried for
RunAtLoad and onDemand but it behaves in same way.Thanks for any help.
