Double force-quit glitch traced to loginwindow plist

For the past couple of months, my machine has required two force quit operations from the dock to actually kill an app. This started to get on my nerves, and tonight I went hunting for it. All I can really say is that removing the loginwindow.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences/ and logging out and in, then redoing my list of auto launch apps fixed it. Also, this fixed EscapePod, which hasn't worked for a couple of weeks.

I hope this can save somebody some frustration.
