* setting an offset makes it appear out of nowhere;
  that itself would be moreless fine, but the disappearing
  animation makes it look really strange, it basically just
  shrinks in height in place. This works fine when things
  looks attached to the panel, then it looks like it slides
  back to the panel, but with a detached popup it just
  doesn't look good

* the offset seems to be from screen edge rather than
  from a strut edge

* the popups are appearing in vertical stack and if one
  of the bottom popups closes, the others are animated
  to slide down; that's not entirely possible with slideWindow

I would like if it's a different effect that it really has a different use

Yep, that's what I want to do.
