I'll try this next time I restart.

Re: SystemConfiguration folder
 
Having now looked at the Darwin source code for 'configd' (which is started by the /etc/rc script), I can confirm that any bundle that is in the /System/Library/SystemConfiguration folder will get executed at system startup.

In the context of the current discussion, this confirms my earlier idea that 'aped' gets started at system startup via the ApplicationEnhancer bundle in the Library/SystemConfiguration folder.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think the applications under the /System/Library/PreferencePanes folder get executed until the System Preferences app is invoked by the user. I.e. I don't think anything in Pref Panes gets executed at system startup. It may be that the APE pref pane has an application which starts up 'aped' if it is not running just as a convenience for the user who has just installed APE - so that no restart is necessary in order to get the APE effects.
