How to open new window on center of screen
I'm currently facing slightly problem with Lubuntu that I uses.
When I open new windows, it launched on top left which is annoying since I moved my panel to up, so the window border looks the same as panel.
How do I make it launch on the center ?

Open the configuration file with text editor, I'll use leafpad as it was the default editor.
leafpad $HOME/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
Scroll to the last line, search for </applications> tag, located before. Once you found it, paste following to line before </applications> tag:
<application type="normal">
<position>
<x>center</x>
<y>center</y>
</position>
</application>
Finally, apply new configuration by reconfiguring openbox:
openbox --reconfigure
Try opening program, notice now they now pop up on the center of screen.
