	No - perhaps you're the one to write it ? ;-)

	So; here's how it works; there are 2 APIs, one is mostly broken.

BonoboUIComponent            *bonobo_control_frame_get_popup_component  
	(BonoboControlFrame  *control_frame,
	 CORBA_Environment   *opt_ev);

	So you use this to grab the Control's UIContainer and get a UIComponent
to push stuff into it. So you add some verbs / menu items on the
ControlFrame end ...

	The on the Control end when you get a button press and you want to do
the popup you use the bonobo_control_do_popup_full thing [ presumably
having first merged in your verbs / UI stuff on the control side ] - and
you're sorted.

	I hope that makes sense ? This whole popup thing _shouldn't_ be _that_
useful since it involves quite a tight container <-> component contract
which is usually undesirable.
	
	Regards,

		Michael.
