...couldn't it be forced to always appear in the center of the screen?
Regardless of other windows positions?

@mthw0: At least the regular xdg-shell doesn't allow you to specify a position for toplevel windows, only relative positions for popups (menus etc).

Could perhaps be done through some protocol extension? Not sure if anything like this exists...

Annoying random position of password dialog persists on Plasma 5.23 beta.

could the protocol you are talking about to be this one?
