No, I was not using it, but it sounds useful. I tried it. Very nice!
Only one little problem. How do I kill the popup frame from the keyboard
(mouse works ok). Repeated C-x k simply takes me through a history of
buffers. Starting with the viewed text, then message, then scratch, then
"ftp>", then sunrise, then.... Of course, a C-x C-c takes the popup out,
but it takes out the main emacs process at same time.

Another problem, perhaps related to the first. If I visit a remote host
with tramp, and then seek to exit the tramp ftp connection by closing
the buffer displaying the remote host, this no longer works. I believe
before adding sunrise-x-popup I could do C-x k to kill the buffer
displaying the remote site while in Sunrise-Commander, but now, with
sunrise-x-popup, when I try to do that, I'm kicked out of
Sunrise-Commander altogether and am thrown back to the emacs scratch
buffer in a single window, fundamental mode. The buffer holding the
display of the remote site is still alive.

Thanks. Tried that, but after supplying remote PW, tramp hangs so badly
that I have to issue a kill command on the emacs process. But this is a
tramp issue, not sunrise-commander, for I have the same problem in the
dired mode.
