No. Either being able to see the canvas is important, in which case adding the message and resizing the image window can be better than having the user move a window around. Even without resizing, scrollbars could come o the rescue. Or it is not important, so the window doesn't have to be resized and the message can obscure part of it (which might be less drastic than the dialog window jumping up right in the middle. With a dialog window, I wonder if it would be better to place it top right, though.
