The Create Profile dialog displays too far to the right. While I can still see the whole dialog on Win32, on OS/2 it displays partly off the edge of the screen.The problem occurs in createProfileWizard.js. The Startup() function calls moveToAlertPosition(), which tries to center the dialog on the calling window. However, for some reason, the var "outerWidth" of the dialog is set to "1", such that moveToAlertPosition tries to center what it thinks is a window of width 1. If I remove these four lines: if( window.opener ) moveToAlertPosition(); else centerWindowOnScreen(); the dialog displays in the 'default' position, which is slightly down and indented from the parent window. I don't know what the goal was with trying to call moveToAlertPosition() or centerWindowOnScreen(), but the default position is a much better placement for the dialog.

On win, mac, linux the call to moveToAlertPosition() correctly centers the dialog over the calling window... Looks like an OS/2-only bug

Well, I built a linux build last week, and it also displays the problem: the Profile Manager dialog is centered on the screen, but when clicking on "Create Profile", the left edge of the resulting dialog is in the very middle of Profile Manager dialog, such that the "Create Profile" dialog goes off the right edge of the screen. This is on a resolution of 1024x768. Attaching screen shot below.

Well, after posting this, i rebuilt on OS/2, and now the "Create Profile" dialog comes up correctly centered. However, i still see the problem on linux. Maybe i just rebuilt wrong. Marking fixed.
