I'm not sure about this, but I think the trick is to override the main window's on_close event so as to minimize rather than hide. Obviously you then need to provide some other way to make it close properly. If you want that to be when the last pop-up closes you probably need to maintain some sort of counter of windows so that the last pop-up knows it's the last one and can call the method that closes the main window.
