Safari iframe cookie workaround

Safari by default discards cookies set in an iframe unless the host that's serving the iframe has set a cookie before, outside the iframe. Safari is the only browser that does this.

The 10k foot view

In order to get around the issue, the parent (src) and child/iframed/remote (dest) site have to work together, if the source site only wants users to access the destination via the iframe and can't assume that the user has visited the destination host before.

Run VMware Fusion headless at Mac OS system startup.

I heard you like headless VMs on your Mac so I wrote this script for your launchds.

Assumptions

Tested on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with VMware Fusion 2.0.5 and 3.1.1.
A interactive user automatically logs into the system at startup. I had some issues trying to get this running without an interactive user logged in. I automatically log in for Airfoil Speakers anyway.
Your virtual machines live in /Virtual Machines
