I have found what seems to be a bug in the use of the front&center cdev/init
that was recently posted to sumex.  For those of you who haven't used it, the
init is designed to force dialogs and alerts to come up centered on the current
mouse position to ease use of large screen displays.

Unfortunately, many applications fail to erase their dialogs if F&C is in use.
I suppose this is probably not technically F&C's fault, but due to some short
cut being used in the application, but still  It makes Front&Center almost
unusable for me (In fact I have removed it.)
