So what is the problem that is making the window never to come back
when the user closes the popped window the second time?
The solution is simple, but first, I would like to know why you would want
to do something like this. It sounds remarkably like pop-up banner
behaviour.
Of course, I don't really care personally: Opera (my browser) blocks that
kind of pop-up. However, I would be concerned for other users, and I won't
endorse something so disruptive.

This is a friendly popup window that reminds a retailer that he has
not taken care of the orders that has come to his site. He has an
option for disabling the window and also if he takes care of the
orders the window will not pop up.
