Cliclick Fails on NON-Laptop Mavericks

Hi,

The script (below) no longer works on desktop computers running Mavericks. It does work on laptops.

Running the script moves the cursor to the green button but does not click it.

Running the command in Terminal does move to and click the button.

So far the developer has no ideas.

Any thoughts?

on run
	main()
	beep
end run

on main()
	set applicationName to (info for (path to frontmost application))'s short name

	tell application applicationName
		activate
		try
			set {leftEdge, topSide, null, null} to bounds of window 1
		on error
			beep 2
			tell application "System Events"
				display dialog "This function is broken when used with " & applicationName
			end tell
		end try

		if applicationName contains "Finder" then
			set y to (topSide - 12) as integer -- locate green button
		else
			set y to (topSide + 12) as integer
		end if
		set x to (leftEdge + 52) as integer
		delay 0.5 -- needs this value or greater
		do shell script "cliclick c:" & x & "," & y -- click it
	end tell
end main

TIA,
