This checking the checkbox can be done in the standalone app: one can  
change the preference with an external or AppleScript or maybe by  
changing the preference file itself maybe, but the application would  
still have to restart, disrupting the user experience.  Since the  
procedure has to disrupt things, a notification dialog can be shown.   
That is not so bad if that happens usually at most the first time.   
This could also be done in an installer, where notification is given.

I made an external to make some system preferences changes long ago,  
so I feel confident that that can be done.  I had to deal with  
authentication back then, so this shouldn't be as hard.
