On Tiger SystemStarter runs all jobs it finds in /Library/ StartupItems/ and /System/Library/StartupItems/

/Library/StartupItems/  is where user created tasks are saved
/System/Library/StartupItems/  is where system tasks are

I do not know how it is in leopard but it is a good bet that it is backwards compatible with the above functionality in tiger

In addition to what Andreas Mayer points out, login items are completely different from startup items. One runs at login time under the current user's privileges, and the other runs at system startup time with root privileges. Don't get them confused.
