launching per-user background agent 10.5 and higher

We need to run a background agent that manages some data on a regular basis and displays a status item (menu bar item). We'd like to use the latest-and-greatest APIs for keeping it running while a user is logged in (including multiple users), but there seem to be issues with launchd.

In particular, a comment here (by Tom Harrington):

Suggests launchd won't reliably run user agents. is this true in 10.5+?
