[PATCH 7/7] gitk: Explicitly position popup windows.

From: Alexander Gavrilov <angavrilov@gmail.com>
Date: Oct 8, 2008, 07:05 UTC
Message-ID: <1223449540-20457-8-git-send-email-angavrilov@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <1223449540-20457-7-git-send-email-angavrilov@gmail.com>

For some reason, on Windows all transient windows are placed in the upper left corner of the screen. Thus, it is necessary to explicitly position the windows using the tk::PlaceWindow function.

Reference list and the Edit View dialog are positioned under the mouse cursor, thus allowing the user to create them in a convenient place using keyboard shortcuts, and providing a sane position when opened through the menu.

Other popups are centered on the main window.
