This seems like a bug in Windows, but I wanted to hear if there some easy
work around before I open a bug in bugzilla.

The following code:

    GtkWidget *dialog = gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons("Title",
                            GTK_WINDOW (parent_window),
                            GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
                            GTK_STOCK_CANCEL,
                            GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL,
                            GTK_STOCK_OK,
                            GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT,
                            NULL);

   // add several widgets to dialog->vbox
   gtk_widget_show_all(dialog);

does not center the dialog window over its parent in Win32, but the dialog
is placed such that the upper left corner is approximately around the center
of the parent_window.  This caused a user to complain that she always has to
manually move the dialog once she does File/Open in my application. Of
course I can manually move the dialog through gdk_window_move() etc, but the
whole point of the "transient" is, as far as I understand it, to avoid
having to do manual window positioning.

The same code works correctly under Linux under fvwm2rc. The gtk version is
roughly the latest in both Linux and Windows.

Thanks in advance!

Dov
