Good point. I added some simple code to config/registry.php to make a 
MySQL query based on the userid and use that data to determine the 
active/inactive state of certain applications.

This way is actually more efficient as only one call gets made to the 
database on login where I was seeing four with a preauthenticate hook. 
As well, with a preauthenticate hook it appears that everytime the Inbox 
was refreshed the hook would make another call to the database.
