Yeah, this is unfortunate.
Can we do anything to make the positioning of Popups and its hierarchy easier?
Maybe add another `show()` with a `ClampPolicy` argument?
Use case: I want to open a PopupWindow below the owner node, but: if the popup
cannot be placed there because the whole thing is too close to the bottom of
the screen, I want the popup to be **above** the node, and not on top of it as
it works currently.
