so here it is. The preference dialog is viewed as a transient now (it was not before). The new window code does this: place_window = True if (blackbox is just starting or the user specified coords or this is a transient) if (window is on the screen) place_window = False; if place_window is true the usual algorithm is applied. If it is not the window is opened where the application/user requested.
