Frame (re-)Positioning

I have a tiny addon that has one frame that the user can drag and position wherever they want.

Unfortunately, if they position the addon's frame near the edge of the screen and then change their video resolution to a setting with smaller dimensions, the frame is subsequently drawn off-screen - at the same screen-position they dragged it to..

Courtesy of wow-wiki, I found these two lines which seem to handle the resetting of the position of the frame fairly well (I'd prefer it didn't position it splat-center of the screen, but at least the user can then see again and move it where they want). {{{ 

   xpNotifyFrame:ClearAllPoints();
   xpNotifyFrame:SetPoint("CENTER","UIParent","CENTER",0,0);

}}}

My problem is that registering for the event DISPLAY_SIZE_CHANGED isn't firing. Is this the correct event hook? Is there a better way to solve this problem?
