Does anybody know how to get the position of the disk icons and how to move
them around

In Mac OS (7/8/9), yes. In 10.x, no -- the X Finder is stupid, so you can't.


Hmm... You SURE about that, boo? Seems to work for me:

tell application "Finder"
set thePos to position of disk 1
end tell

-->{ 240, 39 }

also:

tell application "Finder"
set position of disk 1 to { 200, 100}
end tell

The only issue with setting the icon position is that the Finder takes a
while to notice, even if you issue an 'update' command.

It works here too. However, I don't allow disks to show up on the desktop. Nice!
