I'm trying to figure out how to write an Applescript which will give me the locations and titles of all the windows open on my OS X machine (10.5.3).  In particular, I'm trying to track the location of Thunderbird windows.

Here is the starting script. You'll have to munge the resulting list for windows of interest.

tell application "System Events"
set ew to every window of every application process
end tell
