I think the SysStarter will actually relaunch the items that are 
related to, or linked with, the service involved. it's somewhat 
automatic, from the looks of it.

I tried the process with the png update, and was unable to actually 
isolate a valid 'service', so i did the easiest thing, I just ran 
SyatemStarter from the Console, with no arguments (used the verbose 
option, just for fun). And all the systems relaunched while the Mac 
stayed up and running. Very interesting.

To answer the Why do this?, question: very simple: i didn't feel like 
waiting ten minutes after a reboot to have Acrobat Pro, Zend, 
VirtualPC, Photoshop, and 15 other apps... relaunch. put another way, 
the subsystems can reboot, while one's work is preserved in an 'open' 
state. Completely time-saving, not having to see my third-party login 
items relaunching, also...
