I have Finder preferences set to open a new Finder window in my home

tell application "Finder"
if not (exists Finder window 1) then make new Finder window

I gather this is Leopard behavior you're reporting?
If so, it's apparently not a new thing. I get the same result in
Tiger (10.4.10), and my Finder prefs are set to open new windows to ~/
Documents; they're also set not to display Computer in the Sidebar.
Changing the script to specify the desired target doesn't seem to
work either:
set homeFolder to (path to home folder)
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists Finder window 1) then make new Finder window¬
with properties {target:homeFolder}
end tell
Even goofier, the script-created window's position and bounds are
different from my manually-invoked Finder window's, but if I resize
and relocate the script-created window, then close it and run the
script again, the new window retains those changes. More .DS_Store
madness, maybe...
