Hello, Originally in 9d3d345 I implemented centering placement to fall through to automatic placement if there is no free space to place window at center. But Carlos in 74aa65a made a change to center unconditionally.
I was discussing with Carlos possibility to return original behavior, Carlos was objecting about returning original behavior and suggested me to implement such behavior as enhancement to automatic placement. So I cleaned up autoPlaceWindow a bit and modified it in a way that it tries to center window, and if there is no space at the center it start scanning from WindowPlaceOrigin as usual. Unconditional centering don't always work well, if I open several windows with the exactly same size one window completely shadows another and it's confusing. With fallback to automatic placement (which in turn can fallback to cascade placement) it wouldn't be possible that one window would shade another. Please consider including this patch in upstream. Thank you in advance!
