I agree, popper.el is a great package.  I'm still using it in XEmacs
19.13 though it has a few bugs that surface only rarely and which I
have not bothered to track down.  I'm still in the process of
converting my .emacs to 19.15 but I hope popper continues to work or
framepop can be configured to not make multiple frames.
