Considering prior (auto login) information in the thread, you might want
to turn off the screensaver, or turn off the automatic password lockout
in it.

You might want to make a script for starting your application.  Iron out
any bugs in it so that you can start your application on demand by using
that script.  Then call on that script to automatically start your
application after login.  If a delay is all you need to make it run
properly, you can put a delay into your script.
