Would 60 seconds be considered a bug ? I think
it is necessary for xforms to close the popup
if it finds the popup has been opened way too long.
The reason is that popup grabs both the mouse
and keyboard, a necessary but dangerous thing to do,
and too long a time might indicate a pseudo lockup
situation. Whether 20s is enough is debatable, but this
feature is not. I'll consider making the period
longer, say, 40s or 60s.
