#271 --center not always working on v0.35.0
I'm using YAD 0.35.0 (GTK+ 2.24.23).
With the following script the windows sometimes appear in the center of my screen and sometimes in the top left corner. I couldn't find any mistake in my script so is this a bug in YAD?

Looking on the Google groups releaved this seems to be a common problem depending on the used window manager.
Someone posted a solution involving the --geometry option: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/yad-common/XP7hAOxTGbQ/mPdLzZ9iBwAJ
It would be nicer though if this wasn't necessary.
