Can anyone explain the formula I should use to generate values for the position of a window such that the values all fall close to lying on a 30 pixel diameter circle ?

Since you've asked, I'll post it below. However, looking at both I liked yours better.

Me too! And finally I wrote a still simpler one (pure vertical):

on SkinnerShaker()
set dx to 10
set ddx to 5
tell application "Finder"
activate
try
set frontWindow to window 1
set {y, x} to position of frontWindow
repeat with xx from x to x + dx by ddx
set position of frontWindow to {y, xx}
end repeat
repeat 3 times
set dx to dx - 2
set ddx to ddx - 1
repeat with xx from x + dx to x - dx by -1 * ddx
set position of frontWindow to {y, xx}
end repeat
repeat with xx from x - dx to x + dx by ddx
set position of frontWindow to {y, xx}
end repeat
end repeat
set dx to dx - 2
set ddx to ddx - 1
repeat with xx from x + dx to x by -1 * ddx
set position of frontWindow to {y, xx}
end repeat
end try
end tell
end SkinnerShaker

Thanks Paul for that great idea!

Emmanuel
