Why not just create named event that will be set by terminator program
and checked by your full screen application?

Results from this seem very promising. I did add TerminateProcess as the
fallback, but so far (after doing one fix to the graphical program), I
have not yet seen it triggered.

(I have previously terminated programs on this setup (Nvidia +
WindowsXP) and I have not noticed any ill effects)
