297158 - Place all application windows in the center of the screen if previous location cannot be found

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

What is currently done (atleast on Windows) is, that if the previous position of
a window is not found (new profile...) then it is placed in the top-left corner
of the screen (atleast in my 1280x1024 resolution) which, of course, makes the
user move it back to the center (or somewhere else that is convinient).

I propose to have windows whose previous position is undefined to be placed in
the center of the screen. I've been told that this kind of data is saved in
localstore.rdf in the profile directory.

So basically, if the position cannot be found in localstore.rdf, the new window
poisition is calculated like this:

Window.Left = static_cast<int>((Screen.Width - Window.Width) / 2);
Window.Top = static_cast<int>((Screen.Height - Window.Height) /2);

Looks like I forgot to take window overlapping into consideration.. INVALID.
