Sorry, added more info:
----

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):

http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/245/taming-launchd

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

"However launchd doesn’t quite clean things up normally on log-out. The upshot is that if you log in, log out, and then back in, your LaunchAgents entries will not start up on the second login (or any subsequent logins)."

TIA,
