I slightly disagree here. The problem already exists, as there is not 
only InfoPopper, but also applications that have home-brewn popups.
One reason to have this functionality around is not to encourage apps 
to use it, but to have it under full control when they do. By arguing 
against an API like this, you actually create the problem you would 
like to avoid.
If I haven't convinced you yet, just use Windows for a while. The loss 
of control over the popups is hurting the user experience.

Bye,
