Correct. The DOM hasn't been populated yet, so the center can't yet be
determined. The answer is to do the centering after the center can be
determined. You can use the "resize" event for that, or "appear". With the
latter, you'd see the window appear in the incorrect place and then move to
the center, so you probably want the former.
All you need to do is replace this line:
this.center()
with this:
this.addListener("resize", function(e) { this.center(); }, this);

That's been discussed recently and I believe a bug was posted about it. If
you search the archives (nabble), you should find the thread from within
the past two weeks, I think.
