You mean relative positioning to another component, or providing a  
series of absolute x and y positions?

If you mean positioning relative to components, I have a layout  
(layouts should position stuff) for positioning popups relative to  
other components, that supports the same positioning s a Callout (the  
code in Callout is pretty bad, layout all over the shop), and it also  
supports the ability to control the positioning of a pointer as well.  
It's a little strange how it works as you use the layout in the popup  
skin, and it actually positiongs the content and the arrow, not the  
component or the skin itself. I dig it out and provide an example.
