	Actually launching under MultiFinder works like:
	1.  MultiFinder is launched
	2a.	If you are running 6.1.b9 everything in Background Folder
		gets launched in alphabetical order
	2b.	If you aren't running 6.1b9 Backgrounder gets launched.
	3.  Finder gets launched.
	4.  Finder launches it's "set startup" applications (probably
		in alphabetical order)
