Ah, thanks for the info.

Actually I was glad to find a binary for my "old" DU 3.2, and am quite happy
with the way it works. I can use it without popup, terminating it at window
manager level (Close from window decoration menu bar, or Alt-F4), if I am
reassured that doing it that way has no side effects.
