I modified xwps3 (posted recently) to do just that. The diffs are
below. I just threw it together, so there is absolutely no
documentation, but basically, I added a switch '-timer n', where n is
the number of seconds to wait. You start the program running, and
select a window (either the root window, or one that will contain the
popup), then it will beep at you once a second, until it takes the
picture. While it's counting down, you can open any popup you like.
