Summary	05848: Gaming Window Doesn't Center 100% Correctly
Description	Hi, My specs; Slackware 14.1 x86_64 Openbox 3.5.2 tint2 (svn) panel Nvidia GTX660M - nvidia-driver-346.35 xorg-server-1.14.3 QMC2 0.48 mame 0.157 & 0.158 I reported this to the QMC2 developer and he told me this has nothing to do with QMC2, and to report it to mame developers. I'm using the QMC2 frontend for mame, and I noticed when I start a game, the gaming window isn't centered 100% correctly, it sits a little lower of center on my screen. While the centering isn't 100% correct, it's still not bad, but I thought this should be brought to your attention to improve and get it exactly centered. I'm attaching a screen shot, game_window.jpg, you'll notice in the screen shot that the window is lower from the top, sits more towards the bottom of center. In QMC2 options, I have for the 'per window video option' resolution0 set to 1600x900@60 I also do not use a mame.ini, the QMC2 says not to use one, so I only use QMC2 options for this, and they are correctly set.

No.11473 NekoEd Senior Tester Feb 25, 2015, 02:54	I'm not 100% certain this is MAME's doing either. I suspect the WM but I don't have any proof to back this up.
