Summary: Win32 Offscreen Conversation Relocator

Initial Comment:
This plugin is intended as a workaround for GTK Bug
#153219.  The symptoms are that conversation windows
are created so that they are located outside of the
working area of the screen.

Simply copy the .dll file into your gaim\plugins
directory, then start gaim, go to
Tools->Preferences->Plugins and load the "Win32
Offscreen Conversation Relocator" plugin.  All
subsequently created conversation windows will be moved
into the screen's working area if they are not there to
start with.

That is why it is the "Conversation Window Relocator", not
the "Window Relocator".

The file transfer window does not seem to be fixed by this
plugin.
Other than the fact that file transfers are damn annoying in
gaim in the first place, it would be great if you could get
that working.  One less click sequence to go through

Well, I want middle, you want bottom left... sounds like it
needs a pref pane to choose where it goes ;)

For that matter, does gaim not open /other/ windows also at
the top-left under the taskbar? e.g. incoming file transfer
notifications, connection errors etc. I have a feeling that
other windows can have the same problem, although dialogs
change position every time they open (the stupid
crawl-across-the-screen stagger algorithm that most software
uses) so that's less of a problem.

It would be awesome if you could create a plug-in that opens
an i.m. window at the bottom-right of the monitor.  I guess
i'm one of the few people that places the windows taskbar at
the top of the screen and so having an i.m. window open at
the bottom-right of the screen would make me happy =)

*PLEASE* let me know if you can do this, thanks!

Aha, that's better... :)

The only thing better is if it located the window centrally
on the screen ;)
