Public bug reported: This bug is easily reproducable. 1. Get a multiple monitor setup. 2. Attempt to shutdown the system using the indicators on the _first_ monitor. Observe confirmation dialog position. 3. Attempt to shutdown the system using the indicators on the _second_ monitor. Observe confirmation dialog position. 4. If more than two monitors are available, attempt to shutdown the system using the indicators on the subsequent monitors. Observe confirmation dialog position.
Expected result: dialog always appears in the centre of a screen. Actual result: for secondary monitors, the dialog "hugs" the left side of the second monitor. This is also seen in other applications, for example Update Manager and Firefox. With applications this can cause even bigger issues: with a third monitor, the dialog appears on completely the wrong monitor! It makes no sense for Firefox on the 3rd monitor to be displaying popup dialogs on the second monitor!
