Lost Login Items
After the usual boot ritual (Mac boots, I make coffee) I logged in and I was missing something. Rather, I was missing a lot of little somethings that are supposed to appear in my Menu Bar. A quick peek into my User Settings confirmed my suspicions. All my Login Items were gone.
It made me think of my Windows years, where you never knew whether or not your profile would be intact after logging in (especially not an a laptop with a roaming profile that was used in- and outside of a corporate network).
Anyway, I decided to just click my way through Time Machine to yesterday afternoon, found ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist, restored it, logged out, logged in, and all way right with the world. Don't know why or how it happened, but unless it happens again, I can't be bothered. If stuff can be fixed faster than I can drink my coffee, it's OK with me.
