I have no fears about the future of our popup window. With the 
AlignedWIndow we have more or less complete control over what happens. 
This is pretty darn far from the case with gtk.EntryCompletion :-)

Things will undoubtly be a bit more complicated to get running smoothly 
but in some way they will also be easier... Complete "control" means 
that there's a lot to be done manually, but it also means just that; 
"control" ;-P

Point being: In time everybody will be happy!
