I'm using 10.3.9 and this handler always returns false so the
script is not usable.
As a french user, I had to add these instructions:

I have to confess that Yvan experienced similar issues with the code
I posted on this subject. The main problem relates to a statement
selecting the desktop (perform action "AXRaise"), to ensure that
subsequent commands aren't performed on the wrong window. (I believe
the action broke sometime pre-Tiger. Offhand, I can't really think of
a simple, foolproof, scripted alternative to achieving this - unless,
of course, someone knows different.)
Addressing the localization issue was a bit easier:
-------------------------------
to |keep desktop arranged| by v
tell application "Finder" to set n to displayed name of desktop
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
set frontmost to true
perform scroll area 1's action "AXRaise"
tell (first window whose subrole is "AXFloatingWindow" and name is n)
if not (exists) then keystroke "j" using command down
tell checkbox 3
repeat until exists
delay 0.1
end repeat
if value is 0 then click
repeat while value is 0
delay 0.1
end repeat
end tell
tell pop up button 1 to if value is not v then
click
click menu item v of menu 1
end if
end tell
keystroke "j" using command down
end tell
end |keep desktop arranged|
|keep desktop arranged| by "Kind" (* as defined in View Options *)
