Depending on your system version, you might have better results if you
change this part to use the construct submitted by Kai a couple of days ago:

tell (do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType |  grep
Resolution") to set {wd, ht} to {word 2 as number, word 4 as number}
set screenz to result
set desktopWidth to (item 1 of screenz)
set desktopHeight to (item 2 of screenz)


But I like it. Thanks, Gnarly.
