The three applications I've written which use my Cocoa wrapper are normal
applications with the exception that they have LSUIElement set to YES, and
means they live in the menu bar as NSStatusItems, not in the Dock.
Therefore, as far as I understand from reading
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2005/tn2083.html, Login Items is the
appropriate solution here, not a launchd service. Although it is worth
taking into consideration.

One isn't that big of a deal, but I've filed a rdar for it anyway, and
it's
that you can't actually set the Hide property. It just fails in odd ways.
Actually, when I wrote ^my^ wrapper for LSSharedFileList, I found that Hide
fails consistently. You might want to reference the bug I filed, 5901742,
2008-04-30. Still open :(
The other one, however, is pretty major...
Another good reason to not use Login Items.
If anyone has any ideas for a workaround or solution, please let me know!
Yes. Instead of using a Login Item, have launchd launch whatever you want
launched at login, and keep it running. This way, your user only has one UI
to deal with adding/removing your login item: Your UI.
I've come to the conclusion that Login Items is for users who have a
preference to see their Mail.app, iCal, coffee-maker, or whatever launched
at login. For an application to place itself or its Helper in Login Items
is redundant and confusing to the user. And, of course, redundant and
confusing concepts lead one to write lots of buggy code.
