It is Java window. I cannot confirm this on Mozilla 20021115 (Win32) with Java 
installed.

the screen)

the icq site uses javascript:open('...','...','...titlebar=no...');

on my test the popup window always shows up with titlebar even
though I allow javascript to change window chrome. I don't know
why some people see the title bar and some don't, and there might
be a sparate bug report for it. Anyway, per scope of this bug
report ("windowless popups"), reporter's browser was in fact
respecting the javascript setting --> INVALID

re comment 5: I'm use QuickTime 5 to handle flash movies and I don't
see chromeless window. I suspect it's a feature (or annoyance) for
some versions of Flash players.

I think I found the cause of the problem, and it will make you happy to know
that it´s not in your code, the problem was caused by a "tab browser extension"
(http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/) that I have installed in my mozilla, because
after I unistall it everything worked just fine. I allready noticed the author
about the problem.
Sorry about the bother (and sorry about my poor english too)
