> I feel strange a bit because just executing window.open("http://www.webkit.org"); works even the option is enabled, and also  executing setTimeout(function(){ window.open("http://www.webkit.org"); }, 0);) works on WebKit for Windows even the option is enabled.

window.open only works when invoked from a user gesture handler (such as a click event handler).

> I just want to open a page in a separate window (or tab) few seconds after a user clicks a link.

It might be possible to keep user gesture flag in code run inside setTimeout, but I'm not sure about the tradeoffs.
