It must be the responsibility of the OS to prevent console users
interacting with applications when the desktop is locked.  No user
process
should ever be able to bypass the lock mechanism.

Unchecking "Ask for action when no rule is found" on the Advanced tab
will effectively stop the popups. You can also force TPF to require a
password for any activity.
