I just checked out the gwt-widget source, and set up a quick sample app that
looks like this (not sure if this is the intended use pattern, but it looked
like it):

PopupPanel pp = new PopupPanel();

pp.add(new Button("w00t!"));

LightBox lb = new LightBox(pp);

lb.show();

This seems to do more or less the right thing on IE6, FF3, and Safari3, and
Opera9. The gray area overflowed the client boundaries a little bit on IE
and Safari, but that was about it. Could you show me an example that is
pegging the popup size?

Thanks,
joel.
