Initial positioning of Dialog

[Scott Palmer]

I was just addressing a bug in my application related to this. The behaviour you describe happens only in Java FX 2.x.  In JavaFX 8 the dialog still appears in the centre of the display, but it chooses the correct display based on where the parent window is.

I ended up adding a bit of code to reposition the dialog manually, but it was a little tricky to avoid having the dialog flash at the original position first.  I had to set the opacity to 0, reposition it, and then wait a bit before setting the opacity to 1. Even that was done in a couple stages with runLater.
