display-dialog / popup-confirmer and :x and :y arguments on Windows

Hi everyone,

it seems to me that display-dialog and popup-confirmer ignore the :x and :y arguments on windows when displaying any dialog with an interface as its owner, regardless of :position-relative-to arguments or other arguments. The only way I can find to make :x and :y have any effect is to pass a screen as the dialog owner. Otherwise all dialogs are shown centered on the current screen. Is this the intended behavior, or am I doing something wrong here?

E.g. on LispWorks 6.1.1 Pro 32bit on Windows 7:

(capi:display-dialog (capi:make-container (make-instance 'capi:text-input-pane)) :x 50 :y 150)

in the listener produces a centered dialog, only

(capi:display-dialog (capi:make-container (make-instance 'capi:text-input-pane)) :x 50 :y 150 :owner (capi:convert-to-screen))

produces something where x and y have an effect.

Thanks in advance for any input on this,

Pierre.
