Why do I obviously have it? Obviously I don't, actually, as it doesn't work
for me with either System Events 1.1.1 or 1.2, and I wouldn't have asked the
question if it did work with standard OSAX. :-)

tell application "System Events"
set {l, t, r, b} to bounds of item 1 of (get screen list)
end tell

I still have to build lots of backwards-compatible scripts, and unless the
addition shows up in Software Update, I'm hesitant to script for it unless
absolutely required, especially with beta add-ons, even if they are from
Apple.
