So I am looking into this bug to learn about openshot source code and so far I have realized that:
- The default position for new windows are center of the parent window, am I right?
- There is a method named "gtk.Window.set_transient_for(parent)" which can modify the parent window.
- so all we need to do is to set parent window of each new window correctly and they will be positioned correctly.
 -- for example the result of "self.frmNewProject.get_transient_for()" is None in "openshot/windows/NewProject.py" when you run it the "__init__" method in calss "frmNewProject"
- if that doesn't fix it then we can call this function after its parent have been set.
 -- gtk.Window.set_position(gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER_ON_PARENT)

So my question is how can we find the parent window? I mean I know that
the parent window of New Project is the Main Window but is the main
window available in code so I can set the parent of New Project window
correctly?

Let me know what do you think please.

Title:
  Dialogs should open in the center of the openshot window not in the
  center of the screen

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If you have two monitors that are registered as one big screen in the
  system. The openshot dialogs pops up in the center of the screen which
  meant they are spread over both monitors. Better it would be if
  dialogs are opened in the center of the openshot window.
