Agreed.  Popups are annoying... web sites are starting to advertise that
way now, and I grow more irritated by the day.  :-P

A stray thought:  Wouldn't it be cool to highlight somehow the Horde frame
icon corresponding to a Horde app that has something to tell you?  Like
the old xbiff with the mailbox, where the flag goes up and it goes to
inverse-video when you have mail.  You could ring it in a brighter color
and change the icon, etc., for new mail, an alarm that's going off, etc.

Something visually distinctive, but not so distracting as a popup.

That'd be really cool if we could pull it off in a nice way...

Right. Earlier versions of perl can't use an undefined variable as a file 
descriptor.  Try the latest please.
