That's because that sentence is not exactly correct. What it means is  
that the hooks are only executed once after login, because the prefs  
are only loaded once after the login. And the prefs for an application  
are only loaded if the application is accessed.

What you try to do should work, just not right after the login, but as  
soon as the user accesses Turba.
