Comment:
ProcessController can't really decide where the alert is shown, because
its size is computed only in BAlert::Go() which also shows it. So, calling
CenterOnScren results in the alert having its top-left corner on the
center of the screen.
BAlert::_Prepare detects that the alert has a set position and does not
change it. But there is no way to compute the correct position before
_Prepare is called.
There is also no way to specify which window is the parent. It just uses
the current thread and tests if that's a window (otherwise it does center
itself on screen instead).
So, it looks like some API improvement to BAlert could be needed here.
