This is all very interesting, but does not answer the original
poster's question.  If I understand it correctly, you want a
Greasemonkey script to load *after* the page is completely finished
loading, including all external images, etc.

If so, then what you need to do is define an onload handler and call
your main function from it, like so:

function my_entire_script_code() {
... my code...
}

window.addEventListener('load', my_entire_script_code, false);

Hope this helps.
