Hi,

Somehow, dialogs, like kdesu security dialog, Krusader dialogs, etc., get centered on opening by default no longer. In KDE proper they get into upper left corner of the screen (0,0); in LXDE I'm getting only bottom right corner of the dialog visible, just enough to drag it out with Alt-Left . Are there settings for this?

The closest thing I found so far is System Settings -> Window Behavior -> Advanced -> Placement, but it does not affect dialog windows.

I've got two seemingly identical installations, one opens them centered, another does not.

Is it some kind of mystery? There's a lot of *rc files, most of them app configs, but some more or less systemwide.

There's a lot of [*Dialog Settings] entries; predictably, they feature heights and widths, but no placement figures. Shurely there must be something in KDE or Qt configs?

UPD:

Krusader in root mode shows its dialogs centered normally, even in LXDE. Not exactly a surprise, isn't it? It seems the solution is a file away...

Does it happen with a new user on the computer it happens on?

No, it doesn't happen to root, at least.

Look for a entry similar to [Dialog Settings] in kdeglobals, which is a file all applications share transparently.

Thanks! Unfortunately, it didn't turn out as simple as that. QtCurve has been the offender, but nothing short of reinstall after manual cleanup (any path/file with qtcurve in it) helped. So the problem got solved [in a messy, unenlightened way].
