Historically, folks who've attempted to do this break with every major release of the OS. Things that have broken them in the past include: o introduction of multiple users in 10.0 o introduction of fast user switching in 10.3 o introduction of launchd in 10.5 o changes to launchd session management in 10.6 o introduction of multiple GUI login sessions (via Screen Sharing) in 10.7 o security session management changes in 10.8 In contrast, the approach I've described works on 10.5 and later, and the analogous approach--which uses a login item rather than a GUI launchd agent--works on all versions of OS X (actually, as far back as System 7). > I know they are different worlds, but we do this on Windows without any > issue.
