Right. :) So my use case is I want to create a pop-up in a status bar
that doesn't quite support this. Having to run a process in the
background for this is not exactly the best scenario, as I'd need to
implement process management in the thing, which is a little sub par (as
opposed to just forking a process and let it kill itself based on user
interaction).
So I guess it's more something I should check with the status bar...
