Your code doesn't create a dialog box, it creates a second main
window. Is that what you meant to do?

At any rate, you should be able to break out of the runPopup() loop by
calling hide() on the window:

  def test_exception_popup()
    Thread.new do
      sleep(2)
      app = FXApp.instance
      app.activeWindow.hide
    end
    ...
  end

Hope this helps,
