One related tip, maybe everyone already knows this. You can call
SystemStarter -nd to have SystemStarter run through in debug mode. This
is a pretty good way to see what is running when.
I agree with Jose Cruanyes, it's probably just the .plist preference for
launch order. I've seen "late" and "last" both used.

Good luck, please reply if that fixed it.
