You center your window on launch automatically on my virtual desktop split
across two physical monitors that you have no way to know about, so that I am
*forced* to drag it aside every time, and I'ma break your fool neck. :-)

The app does not, should not, and often cannot know the physical layout
of the displays, and therefore should not make assumptions about positioning;
I don't just say that's the desktop/window manager's domain to dry my teeth.
