IMPORTANT: If you manipulate the list of login items (either per-

future versions of Mac OS X. Use the new API! Alternatively, use
the LoginItemsAE technique, which works back to 10.2 and should
continue to work for the foreseeable future.
Yes, I was going to reply to this thread and mention LoginItemsAE, but
I didn't because as usual with login/startup/daemon/background stuff I
was only 50% sure that I was understanding the problem correctly.
Also, Quinn, regarding LoginItemsAE, I've been using it for a couple
years, and I've always seen occasional "No response from System
Events" errors on slow Macs, like 500 MHz G3s. So I increased the
timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in there, and added a loop to relaunch
System Events when this happens, and that made it better.
But now, under Leopard, I'm getting these errors occasionally even on
my Intel Core Duo Mac Mini. And relaunching System Events doesn't
help immediately. I haven't enough data to file a bug report yet, but
if anyone has any tips on this, let me know.
Another issue: what would be the appropriate forum to discuss this? I
don't think it's macnetworkprog.
