This is a very simple patch to allow a center position for Moodle blocks
IMPORTANT: this patch is done for version 1.7 dev looking forward to be included in the next release. Make a backup of your current files before overwrite them or just merge this 3 files.
With this pacth the blocks can be moved to the center column over the sections area. Using the same arrow icons on edit mode, if you move left a block that is currently at the right position then it will move to the center position
Installation:
1/Upgrade your Moodle installation to 1.7 dev or later
2/Merge the files listed in the patch
