I'm not sure, but I think something's not right with the application
object's properties. e.g. Try:

class of desktop

In OS9 this returns what you expect, 'desktop-object'. In OS X it returns
'property'. The 'name' property is similarly weird - chances are the others
are too, though I didn't check them all.

With Mac OS X 10.2.2, AppleScript 1.9, I get:

tell application "Finder"
get class of desktop
--> desktop
end tell

For grins, outside of a tell block:

class of desktop
--> constant
