The problem is, "popup" can mean several different things. Can you 
explain exactly what behaviour you are referring to in this case?

Some things to notice:

  1. The Gtk::Dialog class will create separate windows used to "prompt
     the user for a small amount of input" (to quote the docs at
     gtkmm.org.) These are sometimes referred to as "popup windows".
  2. If you want a popup *menu*, you just create a Gtk::Menu, then call
     its "popup" method.
  3. Gtk::Window::raise() will (in a sense) pop up an existing window.
