I have actually considered this, and yes, I want my window to center
on the screen returned by [NSWindow screen].

You are right, except that, according to my experiment, it is one
fourth above and three fourths below.

I have written that code and it works identical to [NSWindow center],
as far as I can see. But maybe there are still caveats I'm unaware of.

Anyway, it's an annoyance that the [NSWindow center] uses [NSScreen
mainScreen] instead of [NSWindow screen]. I'd consider it a bug of
AppKit, indeed.

Thanks,
