Hi,

I started implementing the PopOvers in granite. Here are some screenshots:
Midori: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1317488418.png (needs 
a patched midori, but it also needs the gtk3 patch which is not in git yet)
Ergo: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1317927299.png 
(lp:~xapantu/ergo/popover)

For technical details, it uses a composited window to draw the shadow 
(yeah, it would be better if the window manager could handle this, but 
unfortunately I don't know any wm which does) and subclass Gtk.Dialog.

I would like to check that the current API is usable everywhere before 
merging anything, so, if you could test in your apps if it works and/or 
send me an application which would need a popover, it would be a good thing.

The code is at lp:~elementary-pantheon/granite/popovers

Feedback and comments welcomed :)

Lucas
