"Popups" are tricky because they are a trick :) Aside from getting them to appear correctly, you have to do some stuff to get "modal" behaviour (that's usually what what you want with a popup) as well as to get the children to position and render correctly. It's hard to know exactly what your problem is without a working example, but it sounds like you are not using absolute positioning for the child element correctly. Remember that PopupPanel derives from SimplePanel, so it only should have one child. Generally, that's some container panel that *you* construct with your layout controls inside it (again using absolute positioning).
Not sure if that helps or not, but maybe you can tell us more...
