How would PackageMaker know which executable to launch at login from a simple checkbox? Your installer could install several executable items.

I agree that PackageMaker could help, but I'm not convinced it would be and easy addition to PackageMaker, or that Apple should encourage developers to easily add things to the LoginItems. I have enough things launching at login that I didn't ask for...

all this could have been avoided by a checkbox in PackageMaker. then the Installer could ask the user whether it's OK to do it, etc. this is a simple requirement that has been massively overcomplicated -- IMHO.
