Hi

Centered placement will be in 3.1 (unless someone's removed it), and if you 
want it for 3.0.x you can use the patch I wrote here...

http://www.shanewright.co.uk/files/kde-windowplacements-0.1.tar.gz

You'll need to recompile kdebase, and I'm afraid it won't help with the sizing 
of windows, but it's handy anyway ;)

Cheers

Shane
