	Java bites :).  DHTML is certainly one option, but I've never been
comfortable with the idea of depending on the web browswer for a local
application.  Something based on the GnomeCanvas would be much faster,
cleaner, flexible... etc.

	Yes, if nothing else we could use Javascript to maximize the
window to the screen dimensions.  Only problem is the Panel would still
show through.  Also, I'd prefer not to depend on the browser (but that's
just me).

	Having the software/tools is only about 40% of creating a "game"
(where "game" is used to describe multimedia software that isn't an office
application).  Most of the work is in creating the graphics, sounds,
storyline, characters, voices, video, etc.
