	-- #1: When looking at 'iPod Games' or the iTunes Store, these don't return special kinds or valid names (returns the value of windowtitle last time it ran somehow?!?), so I've set it to set iTunes as default. This appears to be a bug in iTunes, as there seems to be no other way to get this information through AppleScripting. (Also, it's possibly because these aren't browser windows, and their (view) has different stuff or they don't have a view)
