Hello, I do not know whether there is an easier way to accomplish what you want, but maybe you can create a new toplevel window in the middle of the screen, then make it invisible and position the dialog windows relative to this new toplevel... Like this: http://paste-it.net/public/q2a5594/
I know, this is not nice. Maybe someone else will offer a more "palatable" alternative.
