This may not be what your looking for but when I play full screen games I set my status to busy and which triggers the keyflasher script to turn on. so now when I have the game playing in full screen and i get a new msg my num lock, scroll lock, or caps lock LED lights will flash (i use num lock). so then i just quickly alt+tab out and have a look. this way i dont have to keep checking if anyone has been trying to contact me.
perhaps you could give this a go?
