The documentation says, Popup is at least application modal per
definition... and that's definivly not what we want here... Popup seems to
be designed for popup menus and things like that...

ToolTip seems to be a much better fit for psi's fancypopups, both should be
nonintrusiv.

And it works for me... But it needs testing on OS X and Windows i think...
