Fullscreen and Systray on Windows

[Don Garrett]

  Is there a reasonable way for a Python program to takes over the full 
screen of a Windows machine in a mannor similar to most games?

  Is there a reasonable way for a Python program to minimize itself to
the
systray on windows?

  In both cases, I'm interested in writing the programs so that they are
as plateform independant as possible. Perhaps falling back to more
standard
behavior on other platforms (such as running in a normal window).

  Thanks in advance for any help!
