My comments: definitely a window manager issue, although maybe some games could provide "hints" to the WM. The concept of "centered" doesn't even make sense in some environments (tiled awesome, ion2, ion3, etc.). If a game does try to position itself centrally, it would no doubt suffer from many bugs relating to what "centre" means in multi-screen environments, etc.
