The popup area frustrates me too.

You probably could do it via CSS, you could at least stop any message
popups appearing by targeting the messageArea element and using the
display: none CSS rule.

You can do this using Paul's FadingMessagesPlugin. Using this you can
set a timeout which once it expires it will fade the message out.
You can get the plugin from the tiddlywiki svn repository
http://svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/contributors/PaulDowney/plugins/FadingMessagesPlugin/FadingMessagesPlugin.js

Hope that helps,

Colm
