The problem, as far as I can tell, is that aliases launch after apps.  So, if
~FinderToFront is an app in your startup items folder, it will not launch last
unless all the items in your startup folder are apps.  So, simply make the
~FinderToFront in your startup iems folder an alias to it somewhere else.  This
should make it launch last and do its job correctly.
