I use Carbon Emacs.  The only time I see a pop-up is when I quit Emacs 
when it's not the foreground application (e.g. I logout or shut down, 
which automatically quits all applications), and there are unsaved 
buffers that it wants to ask me what to do about.  Normally it would 
prompt in the minibuffer, but if Emacs isn't in the foreground it uses 
OS X's standard alert mechanism to pop up a dialogue with all the 
possibilities.
