Toby, I can agree with you that having the turtle window appear in the middle of the monitor can be aesthetically nicer default than having it appear in the upper-left corner. This is certainly true when the window appears as a standalone application. But does this happen often? I do not thiink that turtle graphics is intended to be used for any kind of standalone applications, it is obviously an educationla tool.
Typically, my students open (1) a lab assignment to work on, (2) and an interactive shell. Then they open a turtle window. They arrange those THREE windows so that they can access the all of them at the same time. Assuming that students do something more than just watching the turtle window, it cannot stay in the middle of the screen. Normally, it goes to some corner. At least with all students that I know. This is why a default window position towards the upper left corner seems to me practically appealing and reasonable. I like to agree with people but today seems to be my day to disagree :-( My apologi\y. Actually, I find all of your comment and suggestions very interesting, and to me personally, very acceptable (except for the default position of the window, but the window can be moved around, after all).
