Details
Some dialogs always open in the center of the first monitor. Such dialogs in Firefox are include Preferences, About Minefield/Mozilla Firefox, and Software Update. (This is with a single xinerama screen.) Expected results: The new window to be positioned on the same monitor, either just like other windows, or (maybe) centered on the parent window. Actual results The new window is alway centered on the first monitor Some dialogs are positioned as expected, on the same monitor, according to window manager settings (which is normally out of the way for kwin): Library, Downloads, Error Console. Modal dialogs (e.g. File Open) are centered on the parent window as expected with WM_TRANSIENT_FOR. http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#WM_TRANSIENT_FOR One difference between the dialogs that behave as expected and those that don't is in the WM_NORMAL_HINTS property. http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#s-4.1.2.3 For dialogs that do not behave as expected, xprop indicates that this property includes a "program specified location". (Dialogs that do behave as expected do not have this.)

The dialogs that always appear on the center of the first monitor are the ones opened with "centerscreen". See bug 410337 comment 5 for more explanations.
