visualeditor popup feedback

I notice that the visualeditor includes a variety of popups like this one:

The feedback I'm getting from our users is that these are kind of confusing - they don't have x's in the corner to dismiss them. I think the difficulty arises from people not really wanting to read stuff, and wanting to focus on the content, so there first impulse is to dismiss and they can't.

Also, for users who are new to wikis, the idea of two editors is confusing, and I wonder if there's a better flow that could be created here for the initial user that didn't involve a popup?

Do your users see one "Edit" tab or two ("Edit" and "Edit source")?
