With Centered placement policy they seem to be centered indeed. With "Minimal Overlapping" they appear in some corner though

Parent windows for system dialogs
Hi, we have several places where we have "system" dialogs that don't have a "real" parent window. Examples would be stuff like KWallet, network management, or anything spawned by kded where there's no corresponding app window. Currently, at least on Wayland, they are placed semi-randomly on the screen, which isn't particularly nice. See e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456060. They probably should be centered in the/a screen. Usually the centering would be achieved by setting a parent window, but in that case there isn't an obvious one. What should we do in that case? Set the parent window to some magic Plasma window? Special-case this in KWin somehow? Something else entirely? Cheers Nico
