Hiding item in "startup items" on OS X

[Dar Scott]

The System Preferences on OS X allows startup items to be set up for 
each user.  There is a checkbox to hide the item.  My test standalone 
does not hide based on this check box.  How do I do that?

If it has to be done another way, I suppose I could make the stack 
invisible, but how do I keep the icon out of the dock?
