Details:

This issue was reported to me by Deek in IRC.  

In Preferences.app, in Backbone the following workaround is in Controller.m:

        /*
                This should work, but doesn't because GNUstep  
                starts apps hidden unhides them between 
                -applicationWillFinishLaunching: and
                -applicationDidFinishLaunching:
        */
#if 0
         if ([defaults boolForKey: @"autolaunch"]) {
                 [NSApp hide: self];
        }
#endif

Additional comments from IRC...
---
<Deek> On NS/OS, the -NXAutoLaunch argument is sent by WM.app when it
auto-launches an app on login. 

<Deek> Apps often have a "Hide on Auto-launch" option, which prevents the app
from loading its UI or appearing as anything other than its icon.
