You should add this line, after your code:

Gtk::Main::run(*second_popup);


Note: from the code that you've write, if from first_popup should shown 
many second_popup windows (not all them at the same time but one after 
another), you could waste many memory, because the second_popup windows 
will not be removed till fist popup_window is destroyed. Another options 
is create the second_popup once and show it as many times are needed.
