That applies to all those instances where the window is opened without user
interaction. For example, when clikcing a link opens a new browser window
smart pop-up blockers allow this. I once came across this problem while
doing some PHP stuff and I confirmed that this is indeed the case. I'd see
if there is a way to tie showing the window with some user action, then it
ought to work. I cannot give you any hints on how to do this with Java.
