I did the same thing in both cases, worked on one machine, not the other:

• Copied your xml above
• invoke Quicksilver
• tap “.”
• paste in the text box
• tab to next panel
• open text with PlistEdit Pro
• Save as ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.quicksilver.plist

I’m trying to sort it out now but I am stumped.

seyDoggy, Jasper: thanks for the comments! I’m glad you found the tip useful.

seyDoggy: not sure why it wouldn’t work on one machine. Are you sure you created the file correctly?

I’m not sure why, but it worked fine on my G5 tower running Leopard, but didn’t work on my MacPro tower running Leopard.

Any insight or am I just lucky that way? Thanks.

nice one! thanks for this. I’ve just discovered launchd, and I love it for stuff like this.

Brilliant! Just did this trick myself and it works famously. I’ve crashed QS twice this afternoon and both times it popped back up with no effort.
