I don't remember how exactly the auto-hide feature for popups is 
implemented. Is it sometimes triggered from Glass ("ungrab" event)? What 
event will be consumed in this case?

Are we confident we'll be able to implement this property? If a popup is 
auto-hidden from the ungrab event handler, there may be no direct 
connection between this event and the mouse/key/etc. event to consume.

I have just targeted it to 2.2, however right now I can't guarantee it 
will be really done in 2.2 time frame...
