I have put up two new versions (#8 and #9) which doesn't have an icon or 
titlebar. #8 doesnt even have a title, but #9 does.  I think #9 looks a 
bit odd though, maybe it should get a titelbar when it actually have a 
title?

Another problem i have run into is that i somehow doubt the meaning of 
the 2 links is obvious. I intend the more infomation link to be context 
specific, while the help one is help about the popup. I dont think this 
is obvious at all :(

Is this a question of wording or should i merge them again into a "Click 
here for more information" link which shows both context specific help 
as well as popup help?

I kinda also think it should maybe only be the button that closes and 
not a click as of not to confuse users.

Hrm, i should start moving some of these images to an "old" page or 
something. Yet it is kinda fun to see how it evolved, and i guess i 
still think #5 is the best. Or maybe make #9 a #5 without and keep #8 
as it is, but with #5's link?
