Direct to Rift, Screen window

So... I need to launch my game into the rift but allow the PC to still be used.

My game works great "direct to rift" (which is how I really need it to run for several reasons) but it leaves a giant black full-screen sized window (blank) on the desktop of the PC. I know this is for the "mirror" function, but I don't use it.

If I minimize this window then the game just pauses, even head tracking (boooo!). I can keep it open, drag it around and try to work around it, but it really gets in the way.

I do have the player set to "run in background" (it still works when it looses focus).

This is not a convenience thing... I am working on something that needs the person to use the PC actively while the rift is being used. Any ideas? Eliminating this window, launching it much smaller or allowing it to be minimized would all work.

I am running 0.4.2 (not gone 0.4.3.1 yet due to a few issues).
