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.

...and launchd does support per-user Agents from /Library/ LaunchAgents, which - if I understand correctly - launch at login time.
