How do I check if the user is in fullscreen mode in IE6 using scripting?

I'm using scripting to turn the IE6 screen to full screen mode. I'm using the Wscript.Shell ActiveX object and sending the F11 key to IE.

I tried to save the information in the user's session but when it ends the problem...

Background images disappearing in IE6

I've seen a lot of IE6 bugs, but this one beats everything. A page will display fine, but if I start loading a Table tag on the page sometime, most of the background images will disappear.

One of the community sites I work on currently has this issue when viewing search results from Google CS in IE6. For example these results.
