    I have a situation where my main window opens in the upper left of the monitor, only under linux. It looks quite strange, especially when a informational popup appears at program start, that is properly centered where mainwindow is on Mac and Windows! Screenshot below:

    How can I fix this Linux issue?

      I am not sure how you center your window so I have no suggestions.

      I don't center the window but store the last size and location in a settings file. I use the following in the constructor:

      @
      Position = d_Settings->value("Mainwindow_Position", QPoint(30,30)).toPoint();
      Size = d_Settings->value("Mainwindow_Size", QSize(800, 509)).toSize();

      DesktopRect = QApplication::desktop()->availableGeometry();

      WidgetRect.moveTopLeft(Position);
      WidgetRect.setSize(Size);

      WidgetRect = WidgetRect & DesktopRect;

      if(WidgetRect.isValid())
      {
      this->resize(WidgetRect.size());
      this->move(WidgetRect.topLeft());
      }
      else
      {
      this->resize(QSize(800, 509));
      this->move(QPoint(30,30));
      }
      @

      The intersected() function '&' makes sure the window is not off the desktop (somewhere you can't get to it).
