I don't believe a 1x1 pixel window is actually achievable. I have found the declared dimension applies to the viewport (not the window itself) so at best, the window would be 1px + height_of_window_decorations by 1px + width_of_window_decorations.
Beyond that, I think browsers enforce minimum window sizes--presumably to keep windows from being completely unusable? So the final window size varies from one OS/window manager/browser to the next. I have noticed that the 1x1px window is a lot bigger for IE than for Mozilla-based browsers, even on the same PC. I don't have Mid tier 7.1 available at the moment, but I've used the same concept in other applications I maintain with similar results (never a completely hidden pop-up). No one has complained to me about it yet, but perhaps they recognize the benefit of not being annoyed later when their work is lost/interrupted because of a pop-up blocker.
