There doesn't seem to be a very good way to find the desktop size on a multi-display setup without doing as you suggest and calling out to "defaults" on the command line. If anyone finds one, I'll gladly update the script. Yeah, I should have been more explicit; this will fail pretty miserably on multiple displays, for the reasons Gruber points out in the linked page.

Hurts my head just thinking about it. Any way to do this without dipping into the window server prefs via "defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver"? Probably sufficient to just center on main screen, but... Extra credit: multiple displays, various sizes, and not aligned to the same baseline. Hurts my head just thinking about it.
