Maybe it gets more complex if you have more than one video card, e.g.
the obvious algorithm for centering the splash screen might put it over
the join between the two monitors!

imho the window manager is better for these things because there is
only one of them running at once, so all application's splash screens
(using this example) will be placed using the same algorithm. This
means it's more likely to (a) work correctly, and (b) be consistent,
than if each application implemented it's own splash screen placement
policy,
