The patch is not to GWT itself at this point, but to my own subclasses of PopupPanel, it's the typical <iframe id=""> Shim approach, tho, as the others, it works on show() using the extents of the PopupPanel, and requires the z-indexes to be correct, so I do not consider it a general solution, -- not to mention it's a bit messy if you attempt to use PopupPanel animation. In one of the issue reports you listed, it's constrained to IE, but this happens in FireFox also. My experience is also that IE7/8 behave differently if you are creating/removing the shim by "id", you MUST roll the id value ( name + number++ ), or IE7/8 do not remove the shim ( you can't re-use a dom node ID ). I have not tried to use it with GlassPane, but I imagine there will be some interactions....
I needed to use this in FF also... I'm building a sort of "portal" project, that displays... federated web sites in a main iframe. FF will NOT draw PopupPanels over the main iframe while it is loading content... it will using the shim....
