Description Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2004-05-06 16:26:05 UTC 
I have a xinerama setup, with 2 monitors, spaced horizantally.

The alert that pops up with the "Force Quit" action appears right in the middle
of the desktop (so spanning both monitors). This makes it very hard to read the
text. The window should appear in the middle of the primary monitor.
