Hi, Santosh. Would you mind describing a bit more detailed what exactly looks wrong in my solution, please?
Actually, I thought that the idea of centering the window is not so good. Suppose I close the window a tiny bit outside of my screen edge (maybe not even noticing it), and next start I'm going to get it centered, totally away from the previous position. I think it would be better to move the window just into the screen so that it located at the very edge it was earlier crossing. Sending you another patch with implementation of this idea, it replaces the previously sent patch.
