Center new windows

[Anand B Pillai]

I guess the doubt cannot be on wxPython, because the
method there is straight forward.

window.CentreOnScreen() will center your window on screen
window.CentreOnParent() will center your window on its parent
(Generic)window.Center() will center the window to its immediate top-level
window. If this window is the top-level window, then it will be same
as window.CentreOnScreen().
