Can anybody help me??

OS X 10.5.6. The following seems to turn it off ok, but turning it back on doesn't work as expected. Can you confirm?

tell application "System Preferences"
set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
tell current pane
reveal anchor "shortcutsTab"
end tell
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "System Preferences"
tell window 1
tell tab group 1
tell scroll area 1
tell outline 1
set candidates to every row whose value of text field 1 contains "Front Row"
tell item 1 of candidates
if (value of checkbox 1 is 1) then
click checkbox 1
end if
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
