because the default placement algorithm is:
main->GetWidth() - (fWidth >> 1)
(main->GetHeight() - fHeight) >> 1
where main is gClient->GetRoot() which has width and height the full screen
size.
So your help window is by default placed at the right side of main with the help
window half overlapping and height is exactly in the middle of the window.
To place the window on a custom location just do:
hd->Move(x, y)
before calling Popup().
