It's not over the top, it is precisely what you must do. The agent
must be installed so that it launches for every user at startup; if
you're running on Leopard only, this would mean a global login item.
You cannot rely on any non-console namespace being able to connect to
the window server. Apple has half-removed that ability in Leopard,
and I would expect that the global bootstrap namespace will be gone by
the next big cat.
