Listening for "boot completed" event

[surgerush]

App2sd says if you move certain apps to the sd that the boot completed events thing won't work. What is this and how important is it?

These apps are automatically loaded after restart of the phone, most of them are system services. In my case it's data counter, contact on the lockscreen, email service, gmail, calendar, market, sms and many other system services. So if you move some of affected apps to sdcard, they will not start after restart of the phone. This shouldn't be a problem for apps you don't use, but don't do this for any of the call or messaging services, otherwise calls and texts stop working. You can get list of apps with this permission in "PermReq", search for "RECEIVE ROOT COMPLETED" and move to sd just unimportant apps.

ok, so for an app like eBay, it wouldn't really matter? That's one of the apps...

No, it doesn't matter, eBay probably needs to be loaded after boot just to track auctions you're bidding on and remind you of auction end or new bids.
