 "Metacity places dialogs/windows of GTK 1.2 apps (e.g. unison-gtk, easytag)
 exactly centered on the Display, in my case exactly between my two
 equally-sized Xinerama screens."

+metacity doesn't place those dialogs; these are windows that have
+either the PPosition or USPosition hints set.  Unfortunately, there's
+really not anything metacity can do to fix this, since we've found
+that not honoring these hints causes a good many applications, such as
+java and other proprietary toolkits, to break.
