Comment:

 Sorry it took so long to respond, but here is what mine says in the
 prefs.xml
 {{{
 </pref>
                 <pref name='savedstatus'>
                         <pref name='default' type='int'
 value='1239032668'/>
                         <pref name='startup' type='int'
 value='1234733591'/>
                         <pref name='startup_current_status' type='bool'
 value='1'/>
                         <pref name='idleaway' type='int'
 value='1239210869'/>
                         <pref name='isidleaway' type='bool' value='0'/>
                 </pref>
 }}}

 but actually, i got it to work just now, sort of...
 what i did was take the "created" number from the invisible state in the
 status.xml file

 {{{
 <status name='Auto-Cached' transient='true' created=''''1232477202''''
 lastused='1239722637' usage_count='127'>
                 <state>invisible</state>
 }}}

 then i pasted that into the prefs.xml

 {{{
 <pref name='startup' type='int' value=''''1232477202''''/>
 }}}
 however this doesnt make the actual option work, it does what i wanted it
 to do, make me invisible at start up

 thanks for the help!
