Force application windows to start centered on the screen

Make new application windows to start centered on the screen.
Just do this for that:
Press Alt+F2 and enter gconf-config, then set the following two values:


Key: /apps/metacity/general/focus_new_windows Value: smart
Key: /apps/compiz/plugins/place/screen0/options/mode Value: 1

Now your applications should start up nice and centered on the screen.
