Basically, what I wrote was a quick hack just because I was tired of
not seeing where links go, and someone will need to think about harder
what exact kinds of behaviors we want.

I don't exactly understand how it works on windows, except that the
status bubble can slide out of the main window which (at least in the
X world) means it's not a child of the top-level window.  On X I don't
believe (though I'm no expert) we can control new windows to enough
degree to make the positioning of a new window in a way that doesn't
make it janky.

Because of this, I suspect the right way to do it is to make the
status bubble a child of the main window, and drop the "pop out of the
main window" behavior, or to special-case it when you move the mouse
over it but pop it back in if you start dragging the window.  In any
case, what I have done (a popup window that appears topmost) is not
what I think we want.
