Changing positions will change the location of the items in that
window, but not on the desktop itself (OS X 10.2.8). Perhaps it is
fixed in Panther or broken with the .8 Update?
No, that is working as designed, as they say. There was an HI decision
made some time ago that icon positions on the desktop and icon
positions in the window of the desktop folder should be independent,
and the scripting property reflects this: "position" refers only to the
position in the window. There is currently no way to set the desktop
position of an item, though there is a bug filed on that.
