I'm afraid I can't help with this. A good while ago, I moved to my own 
centerWindow command that doesn't use screenLoc, but uses the stack's 
(window's the screen property 9for the line number of the screenRect the 
stack is on) and the screenRects to get the rect of the monitor the 
window is on. I then use that monitor's rect to get the center 
coordinates and then adjust for any menubar or taskbar, etc to get the 
effective center for that monitor to center a window (I think I actually 
now use the working screenRects or effective screenRects or maybe the 
effective working screenRects ;-)
