hey, my bf and i do the same thing!
you don't need a window. we don't.

first of all make sure you set up your im service so that incoming msgs flash the toolbar or make a sound (much more annoying, believe me).

then you will get a flicker in your screen, with the toolbar usually showing thru. alt/tab outta the game. it does alt/tab very nicely!

also, if you can't see the toolbar, then move it to the top of the screen instead of the bottom like normal. it will prolly show thru most of the time that way, and you will see your message flash on it.

i must say, it works very nicely. we play games and talk to each other every night for hours. once in awhile one of us has to reboot, but not very much.

give it a go. it will keep your mind and soul very happy.
