Yes. And to clarify my earlier point, anyone who does not run Chandler
maximized to the whole display will find it disconcerting to see the
dialogs popping away from where they are focusing their attention.

But I also realized CenterOnParent() would not help in your scenario,
because the dialogs would just stack on top of each other, albeit all
centered on Chandler. Dialogs should center on Chandler, except when
there already is such a window their placement should cascade. I wonder
if Center() method does that, or would they cascade automatically if you
didn't call anything?
