Hey Kakaroto,

I've already done the destroy .ballon patch (r7722), however the issue  
is that the balloon appears after the popup is created (I could just  
do after x [list destroy .balloon]... but it will still appear for a  
period of time). I was searching for a way to check if the popup is  
active before creating the balloon, but there is no way  (that i  
found) of seeing if the popup is shown or concealed..
