Usability: Window Positioning

[torben]

Hi,

apart from the already mentioned Problem of the Add-New-Movie Windows (it does not have a taskbar entry but is not completly modal so that it can get "lost") there are a few more issues, usually appearant on Multihead systems: All Dialogs that are opened should always be positioned centered on their parent instead of the OS default. That ensures that popups like the IMDB search results etc. are always directly at hand, not halfway across your multihead desktop. This sometimes too leads to the lost-window effect mentioned above, as the popup window appears on some other window and can easily accidentially be hidden by another window.

(All tested on XP)
