I don't see the popups as intrusive. No information is being sent
outside the computer. A window is being opened so that you see it,
because it very important and it absolutely needs your attention. It's
not as though some foreign entity is intruding upon your computer, and
it's not as though it interrupts whatever work you're doing.

Can the folks who find this pop-under to be very intrusive better
explain precisely what they find intrusive about it? Also, is this in
violation of the Gnome HIG?
