NSWorkspace: autolaunch?

FROM : Tom Harrington

NSWorkspace has a method:

- (BOOL)launchApplication:(NSString *)appName showIcon:(BOOL)showIcon
autolaunch:(BOOL)autolaunch

What does the autolaunch flag mean here?  The docs just say "If YES,
the autolaunch default is set as though the specified application were
autolaunched at startup."  That really fails to enlighten.  Is this
something the app is supposed to be able to detect somehow?  Do user
prefs get changed in some way?
