The default would be that third party textures (textures not set to  
the land group) would not load at all. In your preferences, you would  
have the option to enable third-party textures or to request a popup.  
The idea of having the unloaded texture distinctive and clicking on  
it or selecting a pie menu option to load it is even better than  
popups, and I'm unreservedly in favor of that alternative.
