Bug Description

When activating the battery menu item inside unity-greeter session a dialog is shown where the user is able to see the power statistic details. This dialog is positioned to the top left corner of the screen. It should be positioned to the center of the screen.

To fix this a gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS); needs to be added somewhere.

[expected results]
the dialog shows in the center of the screen

[actual results]
the dialog shows in the top left corner of the screen

The dialog should be centered. The same is true for all dialogs opened at the login screen.

I can reproduce the behavior, but it's not an indicator-power issue. i-p is invoking g_spawn_command_line_async("gnome-power-statistics").

Wellark suggests this might be fixed by adding a call to gtk_window_set_position at http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-power-manager/tree/src/gpm-statistics.c#n1937

Wellark's suggestion works... I've created a simple patch to add it.
