I have iChat set as a startup item and it logs me in just fine.

True, placing iChat in the Login items will launch iChat and log you in, but I think the point the author of the hint was trying to make is that not everyone wants to launch iChat at log-in or after startup of their Mac. There is a difference between being logged in to AIM and having the iChat application launched. The script attempts to log you in, but not have the actual iChat program open if you're not using it. Right now the only way to do that is to manually use the iChat menu extra to log in, or do what the script does manually - launch iChat, then quit it. Know what I mean?
