Debian uses the packages Lubos referenced in his answer, which means the
following code is executed when showing minicli:

+      NETRootInfo i( qt_xdisplay(), NET::Supported );
+      if( !i.isSupported( NET::WM2FullPlacement )) {
+          QRect rect = KGlobalSettings::desktopGeometry(QCursor::pos());
+          m_miniCli->move(rect.x() + (rect.width() - m_miniCli->width())/2,
+                          rect.y() + (rect.height() - m_miniCli->height())/2);
+      }

I suspect that the if fails for some reason or
KGlobalSettings::desktopGeometry returns the wrong rectangle...

I'll try with some debug output there...
