I'm an experienced OS X'er with an unusual problem...
Starting about a month ago, most (but not all!) items added to "login items" in the Accounts Pref Pane don't get preserved across restarts or logout/login.
I can add an app without a problem, and after closing and reopening System Preferences I can see them in the list of startup items. However, upon rebooting or logging out and back in, many of the items (a) don't startup automatically upon login, and (b) are no longer showing up in the Login Items list.
I've tried the following, without success:
1. Repair permissions
2. Delete "com.apple.loginitems" from within ~/user/preferences
Are there other plist files that might usefully be deleted to try to get to the bottom of this?
