Safari pop-up problem

Recently my Safari has been refusing to allow pop-up windows to spawn, instead directing them to open in new tabs. Minor issue, to be sure, but really annoying to pop-out a google talk chat and having it open in a new, huge, tab instead of small window (better to multi-task that way). Same with Rhapsody, I'd like a small player on the side of the screen I can monitor, not a seperate tab.

I'm currently running Safari 4.0.4 on 10.6.2. I have pop-up blocking disabled and Glimmer Blocker disabled. I also have Glims installed, but I have the option checked to allow new windows to open if a site requests one. Has anyone come across similar behavior in their safari and know of a fix? Am I being a knucklehead and missing something obvious?
 
What do you have in Safari preferences for tabs?
(e.g. General > Open links from applications > in a new window, and Tabs tab)
 
Under General >Open Links from Applications I have "in a new window" selected.

Under Safari's Tabs tab, I have none of the three options selected.

Under Glims' preferences and New Tabs, under the option "When a site tries to open a new window" I have "Let it open" selected.

Pop-up blocking is still completely disabled as I mentioned in the first post.
 
Hm...
Is there a quick way to disable Glims to see if that makes any difference?
I think those two add-ons could have an effect for this tab behavior (haven't seen it really happen before). Can you make sure you have the newest version of Glims installed? I see some people with a less than newest build reported the same issue.
