Well, --document gets loaded by ProjectLauncher, whereas URI is  
loaded by SugarLauncher (both are active in the etoys image). So if  
we can assure that AutoStart processes ProjectLauncher before  
SugarLauncher, this should work. But adding yet another parameter for  
"preloading" might be cleaner.
