You can just hit the ESC key, too.

Sounds like you found it.  Kinda funny--I lokve the clipper.  It keeps a 
record of stuff I've copy/pasted so I can find an old one.  I love being 
able to highlight something in emacs and pick a web browser launch.   I 
usually surf with Konqueror, but sometimes Konq can't handle the 
javascript, so I just select the url and type 'm' and it opens in mozilla.

You can also disable to automatic popup but still access it with Alt-Ctl-R 
if you want.
