Changing Preferences

Hi,

I need to change the default homepage in Safari, and add Safari as a
login-item for the user running the script.

What I got so far:

on run
	tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"
		tell application "Safari" to activate
		set the URL of document 1 to "http://our.homepage.com";
		click menu item "Preferences…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Safari"
of menu bar 1
		click button "General" of tool bar 1 of window 1
		click button "Set to Current Page"
	end tell
end run


The problem is that it doesn't set the homepage, and I can't figure
out how to "click the "Set to Current Page" button" either.

Also, I'm not sure how to handle the login-items either.
I could probably do:
open System Preferences
open Accounts
open Login Items

But, from there I'm not sure. Maybe there is an easier way to handle this?

regards

Tor
