None of this gets any nearer to being able to position icons on the desktop with a script, which may well be the Holy Grail of OS X Finder scripting.

It's a bit sad, isn't it, that the new holy grail is a task so trivial that you could record in the Finder of old.



I don't even know where to find the preference info about what's displayed where on the desktop (although perhaps someone reading this knows...?)

I took a few minutes to look for this today and couldn't find it. The contents of the users desktop folder have to be mirrored on the "desktop" proper, but I couldn't find anything that looked like prefs for doing that. You'd think they'd have put that back in working order. :-(
