some useful popups are blocked by webkit-based browsers (tested with epiphany-webkit 2.24.1 and midori 0.1.1). for example, click "enlarge" at [1] and "closer look" at [2]. is there any way to convey to the user that a popup was blocked and give them an option to temporarily whitelist the site (i think firefox works like this)? thanks.

This works as expected in Safari on Mac OS X, so I suspect a Gtk port bug. These pop-ups are a result of direct user action, so they should open successfully.
