Not sure why that is. I started with Linux 0.99.14 back then, and X worked fine. But hey, I heard they're at Linux 2.4.9 these days, and that one kicks ass for me ;-)
The obvious workaround for advertisers desparate to be as annoying as possible:
var w = window.open(...);
if(w == null)
window.location = "popups_required.html";
redirecting you to a message telling you that you need to enable popups to use the site
