Thanks.  The primary concern I have about WINDOW_POPUP is that it's
"different" from other kinds of windows.  A myriad of disadvantages
to it are listed here:
        http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/gtk-constants.html#gtk-window-type-
constants

Yes, they are all pretty much saying "the window manager won't do
anything with POPUP windows" and that's correct. However, since
applications shouldn't be overriding the window manager behaviour,
that's the "correct" way to circumvent unwanted window manager
intervention.

...though perhaps for my purposes it may be acceptable.  Are these
problems with WINDOW_POPUP applicable to maemo, or are they mostly
for general gtk?

I'm not sure what the "many features" mentioned there exactly are, but
since you would be overriding the wm anyway, I doubt there will be
much that you lose...

Depends on whatever "your purposes" might be of course, you neglected
to mention them ;)
