Dan, thanks for the patch. I have pushed the second one. We should leave it to the user where he wants to see subsequent news.

This second version of the patch is very similar, but the OCN window is only centered upon creation. This way if the user moves the OCN dialog window then closes it, the window will reappear at the same location (or near) when "Community News" is selected from the menu.

Attached is a patch that will center the Octave Community News window whenever it is shown. With this configuration if the user closes the OCN window after having moved it, the next time "Community News" is selected from the menu the OCN window will reappear centered. (If the OCN window is just being raised, it will not be centered.)

I prefer this version. But I will attach a second version that only centers the window upon creation.

The Octave Community News window would look much better if centered in the screen. Currently it displays in the upper left corner.
