All GUIs tend to have a certain overhead. A fairly typical wxPy program 
will be (at startup) around 20 MB, but something really big like Boa 
gets to about 35 MB and something smallish can be around 15 MB. I don't 
find this unacceptable on reasonably modern systems. Other apps are 
roughly in the same range: Word, MSIE, Mozilla Thunderbird, Opera and 
Delphi are around 20 MB and people can keep those open at all times too.

Happens with all apps on Windows: if you minimize them, the memory use 
in the task manager drops.

You should look into wxTaskBarIcon. wxPy questions are probably best 
asked on the wxPython list.
