[patch] KDialog::centerOnScreen()

[Gregory Hayes]

I agree! I have a two screen setup and the first time login dialog in trunk
creates a window which is centered based on the total computed geometry of
both displays. It is very difficult to use a dialog split between two
monitors, or resize a beast that big easily. I personally believe we should
center/size dialogs based on the size of the physical screen. Perhaps, we
should not even let them be larger that a single physical display.

Just my thoughts,

Greg
