I don't know about Qt, but in plain X, you can set the win_gravity field of the window's size hints to CenterGravity with XSetWMNormalHints() and use (XDisplayWidth() / 2, XDisplayHeight() / 2) as its starting position. See Q 3.18 in the fvwm FAQ for a description how you can do it with the window manager. Bye Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
