OK, the place to experiment seems to be kcontrol > Desktop > Window Behavior >

open in the centre.  I've shanged it back, as centered opening is far more 
likely to end up behind something else and leave me hunting for it.  There is 
already a problem with dialogue boxes opening behind other windows.  I 
haven't found the cure for that yet, but since it hasn't been so in every 
release, I assume that there is one.
