As far as I can tell, centering alerts is much harder than centering dialogs.
Try it sometime, you'll like it! Of course, I realize that I could just use a
dialog instead of an alert. But this won't let me use any of the features of
alerts (different levels of sound and visibility, handy caution icons, and
ease of programming).

I don't think this is a terrible deficiency in the Mac OS. Rather, it is
something that should be cleaned up to keep programmers from becoming
frustrated by manager interfaces defined for the 128K Mac.
