[xmonad] Hopefully Very Simple Question

[Platon Pronko]

Hi!

Interestingly my dialogs already center on screen automatically, even though I use standard doFloat. I suppose this is related to the window hints that different applications and DEs provide (I'm using XFCE).

Anyway, can also recommend using doRectFloat if you want to have even more control over where the floated window will be placed.
