I have created a custom Menulet which i have made it as a launchAgent . The problem i am facing is after installation if i logout and login again my Menulet doesn't come up at all.

You're running on 10.5.x, right? The symptoms you describe almost make it sound like you're testing on 10.4.x (launchd agents don't work in a useful way prior to 10.5).

Beyond that, I suggest you start with something simple. I installed the following plist on my 10.5.6 machine and it worked just fine. So, start from that, and mutate it towards what you've got, and see what causes it to stop working.

$ cat /Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.textedit.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.apple.textedit</string>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit</string>

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
