Ok, so I'm NOT going crazy, that's exactly what I saw. So, how DOES
the UI browser do its magic??

This is an odd one. I can set its size using the Attributes drawer of PreFab
UI Browser, but the generated AppleScript yields an error message and does
not resize the window.
Generally, when this happens, we think it is a bug in System Events' current
implementation of GUI Scripting. The fact that the window can be resized
using UI Browser proves that iMovie's window responds correctly to the
Accessibility API, and GUI Scripting should therefore be able to make it
work. GUI Scripting is considered beta software in Jaguar, so it is not
surprising that there are a few issues still to be worked out.
Here is the generated script that fails:
tell application "iMovie" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "iMovie"
set size of window 1 to {500, 750}
end tell
end tell
