Hi Tony, Mark, The reason that startup actions can’t trigger a modal is because the actions are run before the modal mechanism is initialised. We run the actions early so that they can be used to set parameters that are used further down the initialisation process (for example, the startup actions have to be very early to allow them to set the language or theme before they are initialised).
We could fix it by adding further variants of $:/tags/StartupActions that run at different points in the startup process. Perhaps we could use a field “when” to contain strings like “before-commands” or “after-load-modules” (referring the names of the existing startup modules). I think it would require us to move the $:/tags/StartupActions processing into the boot kernel, which is not ideal as it’s already getting pretty large.

I guess you need a "action-at-end-of-startup" tag.
