Possibility to minimize Python scripts?

i couldn't find anything in the forums regarding this so i thought i'd post.
is there a way to minimize running python scripts? i think the ability to do this would be a great addition to xbmc. there are many times when i'm using a particular script (i.e. launch browser, email) and i want to go to xlink to check on friends etc.
ideally, there could also be a status area in the homescreen or pop-up submenu(?) that shows running scripts and gives you the ability to maximize them or close. maybe give xbmc more of a multi-tasking feel?
what do you guys think?

i believe this was moved incorrectly. this is not a feature of a particular python script. this would be a built-in function of xbmc.

you can bring up a new window after a python script is running and hide the current window programmatically... there isnt really an interface to do this though...

actually a 'task manager' like this ~might~ be doable in python...
