    Description

      Have read many postings showing how a QWidget under the Wayland windowing system cannot be centered.  I've encountered this problem as well where windows by default show up at the top left corner of the screen.  Even the QDialog Widget shows up not centered and as non modal which totally messes up my application.

      Will there come a time (hopefully sooner than later) when this can be fixed ?  My app does work with X11 enabled but on some Tablets (Lenovo X1 gen 3) touch screen capabilities disappears and using a pen doesn't consistently work.

      A work around would be nice where I can manually center my Windows properly.  I can live without a modal windows capability.
