Generally I hate popups too, but if it is an expected one or from a site that I allow for the popup, well that is a different matter.

Edit [ again ;-) ]
- the popup shouldn't happen unless I initiate it, sites that popup advertising or other pages without any action by me to cause it are very annoying -- although I have another exception here and that is the popup informing me of a new PM or similar when I return to a forum.

And being a 'mini' popup without the full content of the web callback page, it should be nice and neat.

Your configurability ideas sound perfect.
