Scripting limitations in OS X have spawned some ingenious but

the
comparatively straightforward method demonstrated in the Safari
'Side-by-Side' script...
on desktop_size()
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
repeat with i from 1 to the count of windows
if the position of window i is {0, 0} then
return the size of window i
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end desktop_size
It's till not very intuitive, though; rather as if a bunch of builders
had
put up a house, then found they'd forgotten to include any doors but
worked
out a way to get in by jimmying open the pantry window.

Also a pity it doesn't work for me. : (
The window at 0,0 has the following properties...
{class:window, value:missing value, minimum:missing value,
maximum:missing value, title:"", subrole:missing value,
description:"window", size:{0, 0}, focused:true, selected:missing
value, enabled:missing value, name:missing value, role:"AXWindow",
orientation:missing value, help:missing value, position:{0, 0}}
Now that's a lot of missing values!
